Hi gang.A long time pal o mine passed away yesterday.I mention it here as any of you out there who took in the North American sidecar road racing wars in the 70's/80's will remember Greg Cox.He was the pilot of the Cox/Davidson rig that always put on quite a show from Mosport to Laguna and all points in between.There engine sponsor was R.C. Eng. and their chassis was supplied by Eldon Rasmusson of Indy .Greg lived in Bowmanville Ontario.  "PFQ"  RIP

Condolences, it is hard to lose those that mean something to you.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
