THOMAS G. SHAW

Reminded every year at PSMCR in Mighigan that one of the stars of our Sport is no longer with us. He is missed and remembered.

I miss Tom's writing, especially on the last page in MCE that he did on the regular.

Tom was a great friend and a mentor to the muscle car hobby. He was a fixture at the Pure Stock Drags and will always be remembered as our spokesman

Tom was a great friend and had a heart of gold, gifted and talented in music and a great writer, photographer and most of all a true friend. I just now learned of his passing and my deepest sympathy to his children and grand children.

Tom's wit and knowledge will be severely missed by readers of Muscle Car magazines and all of us at the PSMCDR events. Godspeed TOM.

I will miss the long conversations we had on the phone and at the track about the cars. I have never met a person who loved muscle cars as much as Tom. He was a great guy and a great friend. I have been lucky to have met such a nice guy. The Pure Stock Drags will never be the same without Tom there. We have all lost a great friend.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tom's family and friends. I have enjoyed his work for many years and it was always top notch. The pure stock drags and the muscle car community could not have asked for a better ambassador. Rest in peace my friend

I have seen Tom at the Pure Stock Drags for over ten years. Finally had the pleasure of talking with him and getting to know him about 3-4 years ago. We both share a common interest in music. He would ask me for an opinion on the gear he was using and get ideas about what to try next. Tom is a talented person who will be greatly missed.

Godspeed, Tom. Knowing you was a genuine pleasure.

Know that the whole Studebaker community -indeed, the whole collector-car hobby- mourns the loss of your good writing and kindnesses to us. You are truly missed.

Be looking down for a moment of silence as we remember you next year at The Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race.

All the best to your family on the loss of such a good man.
