Throwback Thursday scrapbook memories. These two Jack Fox photos, one of Norm Rapp winning a trophy dash at Oakland indoors while I and his Dad Gene were his pit crew.And the second photo shows me winning a dash at Oakland indoors about five years later. I tried to follow Norm in things I did racing but Norm was a hard act to follow.He finished third in BCRA points best I could do was fourth. He won many mains I got some seconds,we both were on BCRA'S board.Norm was always there for me if I had a question or needed help.Its hard to believe Norm (Mr. Zoom Zoom) been gone a year already.RIP Norm gone but not forgotten.Thanks scrapbook for these memories .
