If you knew Harry on the track he was an intimidating dude, but off the track he helped me an awful lot.  A really cool guy and I know with nationals he knew many of the guys across the country.  I think he told me once he had 1500 laps at Mid Ohio.  If you knew Harry then you probably knew his wife Mary and what an awesome lady she is, ASIDE from the fact that she happily supported him at the track - which is more than any of us should ask of our partners :)  I hope you keep her in your thoughts.

 

I'm pretty crushed, I will always remember his old toothy grin crouched over that battered old showroom stock car that he converted to one fiercely fast Spec Miata.  If you didn't know Harry lived in the town of Mount Pleasant which meanders through my own and he served on the village board for many years.

Rest In Peace Harry!  For years you were a staple of the letters the SMAC received, your contributions to the sport and class will not be forgotten.

Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.
