To Debbie & Jimmy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. It is so hard to lose a parent and I pray that you have the strength to get through this very difficult time. Us Perez's go way back with your family as I remember vividly from way back in the day when you lived in Planada how we would always walk by your house when we would go to church. Difficult days are ahead but know that he is in a better place. God bless you, Jimmy and your family. My heart goes out to all of you.

I send my condolence to the Brewer family, Odell built my first motor for my car when I was about 12 or 13, At that age I had one of fastes 37 chevy chevy on the street. When I was a kid I'd watch Odell race, And I;d say to myself, one day i'm going to race, And now I,m racing at Merced. I know that I can never be as good as Odell, But I;ll keep on trying. Thanks, From Racer #46 John Murrieta and Family
