It is with great, great sadness that we have learned that fellow racer Billy Walker passed away this afternoon. He was looking forward to the Fall Brawl.
Rest in peace, friend.

Folks, in case you haven't seen this:
In honor of Billy Walker
I made a donation. Very sad when there is no money to get buried.
