Chris Wertman RIP

Like so many others, I thought this another joke. Sadly mistaken. Chris called after Denver with a couple thoughts on my 5.7 and said he was going to spend some time trying to get his house finished. So many projects and so little time. Had only known him since the just before the Atlanta race. Had a stock racer ask me "Why are you hanging around his pit?" at Atlanta. I told him that Chris was a Mopar guy and a New Hemi guy and that was enough reason for me. But it was more. What a character. Great to be around. I was hoping a little of his energy would wear off on this Grandpa. He will be missed.

I know many have offered but if I can do anything let me know. A trip to sunny Barberton to see old B&W folks and to lend a helping hand is only a call away
My thoughts are with you, your family, friends and Mandie.
So long my friend. RIP

Good luck on your new project, and I know what you mean, I find myself seeing cars and thinking the same thing, only to go home an look for them in the guides and figure their class.....its a disease Im thinking

I myself hope after my next projects to be able to build another class car, its a challenge with rules I enjoyed so very very much.

Good luck Any idea when your new project will be tracking ?

David and Mandie,
I'm shocked and very sorry to hear of Chris passing. I only pm'd him once to tell him I would like to meet him in person and to disregard any negative replies to his posts. Our prayers go out to him.
