Hotrod, thanks for the pics of Ray. I remember my wife Tricia being invited by Ray to climb up his tower to get a better view as I went by. I also remember returning to the salt the day after the 2010 Loctite/Mike Cook's Shootout was over. Ray was there preparing to tear down his tower. I stopped and talked to him. Nice guy and knew a lot about every racer and who did what. I believe I was out there to return "Speedy", the timing tower official mascot who took a ride in the Ack Attack that year, Back to his owner... Sad to see guys like him go. All part of the Bonneville experience and there will be a void where Ray used to be...
