We've lost two champions recently. 1978 Street Stock champion Mike Scroger #92 passed away in late September. 1989 Street Stock champion Mel Raab #83 passed away yesterday. Rest in peace, gentlemen.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Western New York racing veteran and Hall of Famer Dick Kluth.

The familiar #27 was a fixture of the local racing scene for more than five decades, with Dick building a legacy that went far beyond his accomplishments behind the wheel. He represented the camaraderie and passion that have always made short track racing special, earning the friendship and respect of competitors and fans throughout the region.

We extend our heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the Kluth family and to Dick’s many friends, competitors, and fans during this difficult time.
