Scott Geoffrion.....RIP....

Not an old racer, I had met him several times when I was at the races while here on vacation before moving here in 2003.

Didn't even know he was ill.....

From NHRA.COM.....

"Scott Geoffrion, a two-time former Pro Stock world championship runner-up and nine-time national event winner, died May 8 of an apparent heart attack in Southern California. He was 40. Geoffrion was hospitalized Sunday night for observation with breathing problems and a fever stemming from ulcers in his esophagus and was stricken the next day.
Geoffrion, who drove for Warren Johnson through 1991 before joining David Hutchens’ star-crossed Wayne County Speed Shop/Dodge Boys team with Darrell Alderman, reached the final round 28 times in a career that spanned more than 200 races from 1987 through 2004"

Being a MoPar fan....that IS sad news.

But being human....40 yo is WAY too young.

RIP Scott

 

My condolences to all his friends and family.

 

Very, very sad... he kicked ass behind the wheel of those Wayne County cars... too young to die.

That's too bad he was a good guy at the track.
