Thanks. bp

dammit-boy....VERY sad news

I read Cindy's story earlier tonight. Man what a tough story that had to be to write. Thanks for hosting it BP.

I will send an email to Pat as well.

Sad deal,

Rapid

I truly wish I could find the words to say, kinda of hard to type with tears in your eye's.

I ain't got the words either...........cept to say Pat would rather us say "f*ck YEAH"........than to be down about it..........thats hard to do.........never met him but through all the stories i ahve read and heard.i feel he is all of us drag racers brother............ERIK

I had the "privledge" to see this guy race in most all of his rides. This guy was one of the "real" dragracers who could drive anything. I had the chance to talk to him at one of the Hot Rod Reunions at Bak. He was a damn fine driver. Just like most, the Setzer car was most revered, yet the Mickey Thompson Mach-1 ride was stout as well.

Heart Wrenching BP...

i had the Great privilege of meeting pat year's back with dad at OCIR.he was truely on of the great's.he will be missed and drag racing has lost another.RIP Pat.

As a 13-15 year old, I got the privilege of hanging around the pit of Lil' John Lombardo whenever he came to Fremont. A couple of those times, Pat was piloting Lil' John's Vega.....Those times will be forever etched in my mind, as I wiped oil out from under the body between rounds, or got to watch a round of qualifying or eliminations from the best seat in the house...the back of John's ramp truck.....Great Times

Very sad days indeed. Another great one has gone. God speed, RIP Pat. You 'll be missed by many. Thanks for all the great memories.
