Thanks for letting us know about Jerry's passing. I enjoyed watching you and Jerry race each other at Norwood Arena. It was always a great show. Talent can do that, make hard charging on the track entertaining for the fans in the stands.
Jerry - you are missed. Thanks for your friendship and support.
