Craig Sutton, son of my racing teammate Kevin Sutton, nephew of my racing teammate Marty Sutton, cousin to my racing teammates Nick and Travis Sutton passed last week due to complications from a new pain medication he was taking for a long term back injury.
If you knew Craig, you understand how big of a loss this is to loose someone with such a big heart, that would do anything for anyone including strangers he met on the street. He had so much energy and such a big smile and bright outlook on life all the time. Everyone who met him enjoyed being around him, he was a great kid and will be missed by the Mountain States Automation Racing Family.
Memorial service will be this Saturday at 11, Abiding Hope Lutheran Church, 6337 S. Robb Way, Littleton, CO 80127.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.
