My first encounter with the Nish family was as a spectator at the Bonneville Raceway bull ring circa early 1980's. Terry drove a Super Modified (rear engine, I think) and competed against a very formidable "Wild Bill" Madsen and other notables. To this day, I don't know how cars could go that fast on such a small oval, let alone race. I owned an engine machine shop in SLC at the time and a good friend, Dave Mott, repaired or modified many race cars in the area. Last one I remember was a front suspension rework for the Vesco/Nish streamliner. Oddly, all the years I lived in SLC, I never once made it out to the salt flats.
Fact is, the racing community and LSR in particular, lost one of their best. See you on the other side in about twenty years, Terry.
