Very sad to report the untimely passing of David Loring. Glen Phillips called Rand, Rand called me.
I had the pleasure to meet this gentleman many times starting back in 1977.
He was 2nd at the 1977 Runoffs in FF in an exciting race where he did score the fastest lap driving the beautiful Eagle.
He came back in 1978 and won the national championship in FF driving the Eagle. He won going away in what has been said to be the biggest lead in Runoffs history. While not the designer of the Eagle he was for the most part the constructor.
He really was all smiles at the FF40th. And, last year he was wrenching for a team at one of our Watkins Glen races.
A great wrench and fabricator. In later years always dapper in a sportcoat if he was in public.
Quite a rich history:
