George E. and Our Industry
Dear Monster Truck Teams, Promoters, Fans and Industry People.
As we all know we have suffered a Tremendous Loss, from a Tragic Accident! George was a Class Operation, and well respected for what he achieved. There are No Words to make things better, only actions to Show how much we care.
My thoughts and Prayers are now with His Wife, his 2 Children, his crew, his Drivers, and what they built with his Events "Monster Truck Nationals". Nothing will bring George back!
I feel that this is the time for the one's that are suffering, his Family, Drivers and Friends to pull together (as I am sure he would want) to help his wife and 2 Children survive. I know the grieving will take a long time, but reality is here and now, and George's next Show is next week!
I feel it is very important for any Industry People that can lend a hand, step up to the plate, (if they are needed) so George's 1st Quarter Dates continue to benifit his Family. I am sure that is what he would want. (His Wife and Children, I am sure were his Life).
I know Some Race Teams may feel They have had it! But this is the time to Help his family. I am sure his Crew at Monster Truck Nationals are Professionals and can move forward, but they need to know that there are Industry People that are there to help if they need it!
George spent 16 Years building his Business, and his Dates, and I honestly think they should always be Monster Truck National Dates, and treated as "Hands Off" so the Family has something to take care of his Children that just lost their Father.
On a Side Note: I 1st met Dan Patrick 20 something years ago in Ariz. with Tony Vacarro, and Bob George. He was doing his Pulling with the Funny Cars back then. Dan was then, and continue's to be a CLASS ACT..........This was an ACCIDENT my friend!!!!!Nothing could have prevented it! Our Sport Needs the Dan Patricks, you are Old School, and you are a Major part of our History!!! Please hang in there!
Sorry to ramble guys, but I had to voice my opinion on this Tragic Event, as I have been on that floor 1,000's of times in George's Shoes, and I know had the tables been turned, these are the things I would want to see.
If there is anything I can do to help in any way, I am here to Help!
Rest in Peace! From one Promoter to another!
Sincerely,
Steve Quercio
