Just a note to anyone who knew tom, he was a dedicated sprint car fan, and announced some races at Waynefield Motorsports Park, and a member of Darf, he passed away in january, and i have not seen any posts about him, very good man who spoke his way and looked you in the eye, he will be missed and all he was and did to help in his way is appreciated, condolences to his family, sincerely, Doug Simon. #7 non-wing owner.

I had the pleasure of meeting him at Gas City a few times! I will sure miss seeing him there! I always looked forward to talking to him!

He usually had a story about a speeding ticket near miss and funny things like that!
He always made me laugh! Plus he was usually surrounded by people who were laughing too!
He has the best view of all the great races now and plenty of great race fans to enjoy them with!!
