I thought this needed to be on the main page, Seen it on the checkered Flag forum. George you fought with grace and dignity. You will be missed.
Tell them you love them while you can. R.I.P. my friend Jerry,Sarah,Paul,Josh and Sonny Spencer #66j stida.com |

Very sad. A great guy, and an inspiration to many of us.

So sorry to hear this. Even though I didn't know George, he was a great inspiration during my grandson Andrew's battle with cancer. He was a bright light during some very dark days for me. His wisdom will not be forgotten. RIP my friend.

I first met George at the Indy Speedrome back when he was running a midget. Either Kenneth Nichols or Alan Brown introduced us. Great guy.
RIP, George

So sad to hear about this. I hadn't seen any posts from George and wondered how he was doing.
My condolences to his family. Say hello to your parents for me George. Smokey |

I raced with Georgie back in the day. His Mom and Dad were very nice people. I believe they had a WHITE MIDGET with the Number 37 on it. The year I won the WWAR Championship they were regulars that year and I got to know them quite well. Georgie was quit a Midget driver too. We all had lots of fun back then and traveled from race to race. I remember that he was about a HALF inch shorter then me. Not too many people are shorter then me but he was and we always kidded each other about that. R.I.P. Georgie. Respectfully, Jack Calabrase

Wow! Sad day, George drove dads car back in the 90's a few times even at Paragon once. Not even sure how it all came about, I'm thinking it generated through Roy I will tear up the spelling of his last name Carrouthers.
Thanks Jerry for picking up on this note. Jeff Sweat |
