We are deeply saddened by the loss of Gary Jacob. Gary was the man who knew everything about grass roots racing. Or, if he didn’t know for sure, he would find out for you. We met Gary when Kyle started racing outlaw karts in 1999. Ron Rodda (another writer: From the Grandstand) told Gary to check out this kid and let him know how he did. From that day on, we’ve been friends thru email and at the track. Gary was a person who dedicated himself to be at the races, write articles all week long and also work 40 hours a week. On December 20, 2003, races fans, promoters and acquaintances recognized Gary for all of his hard work and dedication at the Red Bluff Winter Indoor kart races. Please check out the speech that was given to Gary (the information in the speech was gathered directly from questions asked of Gary). There are also pictures of the occasion you can view. Needless to say, Gary was stunned and overwhelmed by the support. Gary was the only person to write articles covering the outlaw sprint karts. We will miss you Gary, you played a big role in a lot of racers lives.

Rest in Peace, my friend.
