I read that Ray Fitzpatric of Auto-Craft Machine back in the day has passed away? Something about his son going to race? Any news or info on this if true? Use to work there when Ray and Bill were together at Auto-Craft.

Ray suffered a massive heart attack at the national event here in Vegas and they were not able to save him. Sad day for a great guy.

Awe man! That is very sad news. Ray and Bill were big back in the day when Auto-Craft Machine was up and running. My prayers go out to Ray and his family.

Sorry to hear of Ray's passing also. I also worked there when I was a young long haired kid.
My condolences to Ray's family, that must have been heartbreaking for his son.
