Oh my gosh. What an honor it is to even call myself a fan of his many racing interests. He amassed an incredible group of people to put those race cars out there for the fans. Rest in Peace, Larry. You did what others only fantasize about.

I met Larry through Gary Beck and Bernie Fedderly. This picture is from 1982 at Martin Michigan. I was almost 12 and Larry was the first one with a custom golf cart. That's yours truly behind the wheel. Larry and Sandy treated me awesome. Whenever they were racing in the Midwest I got to help in the pits. I even played babysitter for their son Andy at the track. When Gary Beck left that ended my crew member "job". But I have endless awesome memories with that team. Godspeed Larry Minor
