    I know there are a few sprint car racers on here so I thought pass this along
    Being in the same business, I've known Earl for a long time and had the pleasure to assist him with a bunch parts for a 371 Olds he put in a hotrod of his own
    Usually saw him In person at the trade shows, always enjoyed speaking with him.
    R.I.P. Mr Gaerte , you've been a big part of a sport, that's always been a big part of my life.

  3. I still have a bunch of Gaerte decals we used to use on my buddy's wing car.

    Sad news. Another Motorsport Icon gone.

    Godspeed Earl. [​IMG]
