I haven't had any time to post lately, but I wanted to take a second send condolences to the families of Frank "Zook" Scdoris and Gary Grossenbacher.
Scdoris passed away this week after a battle with Alzheimers. I remember him as the flagman at Midwest Speedway when I first started going in the early 80's. He was a long time racer and is enshrined in the Beatrice Speedway Hall of Fame.
Grossenbacher was a long time crew chief with Sprint car driver Lonnie Jensen and later for Lonnie's son Tige. I met Gary when my father and he partnered on the #7BK car at Eagle, and I talked with Gary at the races often. Gary died of cancer last week.
Both will be missed.

Just wanted to convey my condolences to Frank 'Zooh' Scdoris's family in his passing. 'Zook' was a friend of my dad's when we lived in 'Belmont', Lincoln, Nebraska. I used to help 'Zook' with his stock car once in a while at the old Oak Lake track. I remember how he used to run alcohol and had 2 radiators mounted behind the driver's seat with the water running in the roll bars. It worked fine until you touched one of those bars. I also worked some summers with 'Zook' on his garbage route when he had it. I remember I was 14 and got a dollar a day plus he would stop and get us a quart of chocolate milk on the way to the dump after we completed the route. He was a 'tough' man but good in the heart where it counted. Rest easy 'Zook'. Time for a well deserved rest!
