Popular nostalgia drag racer and speed shop owner Rick "Surf" Stambaugh of Fredericksburg, Virginia, passed away in his sleep during the night of Friday, May 13, 2011.
Rick, along with son Matt and daughter Robin, ran the New Generation Speed Shop and a series of drag racing cars that bore the same name. Rick and his New Generation machines were well-known participants in funny car, fuel altered, and dragster drag races from the 1970s through 2011. Rick also was planning to host a nostalgia drag racing event at Sumerduck Raceway in Virginia in October 2011. At this time, all team racing activities are anticipated to continue in Rick's honor.
Memorial services are tentatively scheduled to take place in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Further details are forthcoming.
