    Default Barney Powers

    Longtime sportsracer passed away this weekend. He personally was instrumental in my joining the DSR fraternity. A very nice guy and willing to help any competitor. I will miss him.

    Barney Powers was my friend. Good memories of all the times we spent together at Mid-Ohio, Elkhart Lake, and Gingerman. I sure will miss having him around. Godspeed, Barney.

    What a loss to the race community and the SCCA in the Cincinnati/Dayton region it seemed like he was at every race at Mid-Ohio. God Speed Barney

    Godspeed to Barney. I probably new him over 40 years, since I was 10 or 12. He will be missed by my family, the D S/R fraternity, and the whole racing community, not a friendlier more enthusiastic guy in the paddock !
