I learned a few days ago that long-time Slotblog member (since 2008) Garry Haworth recently passed away, but I have been unable to learn the date he died. Sketchy info indicates the cause of death was a heart attack, which he had survived for a few days after it occurred. I've not been able to locate an obituary for Garry.
I met Garry at the very first R4 in 2008 and know he raced Retro, Wing cars, and HO for a number of years. At one time he had his own HO home track in Simi Valley, CA, which he called Haywire Raceway. I remember seeing Garry within the last few years, perhaps at a race at Slotcars-R-Us in TN, but can't remember exactly. I do know, because he posted saying so, that he and the late Oscar Morales were "best slot racing buddies."
If anyone has any additional info regarding Garry's passing, or any fond memories of him, please post them here.
RIP, Garry,
