John loved the action at tracks throughout the region and worked on the engines of several top Ransomville competitors. John passed away in February of 2017. “John was always a huge Street Stock supporter, so it was a natural fit to have a big Street Stock race in his memory” stated longtime Ransomville Speedway Official Jeff Anstett.
