I went to school at Speedway with David Potter, one of Ralph's sons, and later on in life when I was looking at some property in Avon to build a house to raise my family, I found out that Ralph was the owner and seller of the 10 acres that I was writing a purchase offer on, he took my first offer on it and later told me that he called his boys and asked who i was and said it was more important who his future neighbor was going to be then the price he was getting for the land, several years later when I was talking to my neighbor (Ralph) and I told him that i was thinking of getting a Go kart for my son and was going to look into racing, he looked me straight in the eyes and said, let me tell you something, if your going to put your kid in a car to race then I suggest you put a Cage around him and put him in a Quarter Midget,
I must say Ralph Potter is personally responsible for 10 years of memories I will cherish for years, 3 years in quartermidgest, 3 years in a Kenyon midget 2 years in a Focus Midget and 2 years in a full midget, Thousands and Thousands of miles traveling all over the country with my son and all the time my next door neighbor was always there if I needed advice, I could go on and on.
RIP Ralph
