At a race today I was told that long time slot racer Red Valantine had passed away in the last few days.
Does anyone know anything about his passing?
Red Valantine, 1951-2024

From the Cajun Slot Cars Club page at Facebook:
"We lost a great guy today. Robert 'Red' Valantine passed away today. We didn’t know him for very long but man what a guy! From his infectious smile to his hip swinging while racing there was some much to love about this old biker from Cali. In my opinion one of the most underrated slot car racers there was! The hobby is greater for having him but it's a huge loss losing him."
I've not seen nor heard any further info.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap
