Default Ray Valpreda Passing

It is with deep sadness that I let you know that Ray Valpreda, a long time division one racer and very good friend has passed away. He will be terribly missed and my heart goes out to his wife Ruth, children and grandchildren.

I also met Ray back in the 70's. What a great guy. Very sad to hear of his passing. The Bender family.

Sorry to see this. He was parked by me at Reynolds a few years ago. Very nice gentleman. Had a enjoyable weekend, except that I wound up red lighting to him in rd 1. RIP sir.
