RIP Harry Holton

Honored to have worked side-by-side with him, on a Hemi, if only for a few moments. He dropped everything to help a racer in need, even when said racer was against one of his own cars in the next round. Godspeed to his friends, fans, and his wonderful family.

Race in Peace, Mr. Holton.

My condolences to the Holton family. Harry was a mechanical genius, but most important a giving, humble, family man. Everyone who met him loved him, myself included. A great loss to human kind all the way around.

Tomorrow there will be a 900 hp Hemi on a dyno in heaven!

Rest In Peace, Harry!

I am so sorry for your loss. I still remember racing at Fremont,Half Moon Bay, Sonoma, Sacramento,and Bakersfield,back in the early 70's. I would always find Harry's Hemi in the pits and say hi. He was my idol, and I dreamed of owing a car like his.

Handsome Harry was amongst the best of the best. A true gentleman on and off the track. Rest in peace my friend.
