Some sad news

Post by REAR » Sat Sep 30, 2023 7:31 pm

Just got word out of Arizona that Ted Johnson has left us.

Teddy had a real love for historic karts and he loved to tell a story or two of the days gone by.

R.I.P. Teddy, your going to be missed by many.

R.E.A.R.

Ted loved his 610 West Bends. They ran very well. Was a long time fixture under the shade tree by the coolers at The Big One until his health deteriorated to the point the cross country trip was just to much.

It's amazing how much knowledge is lost when someone like Ted passes. Sadly the list of names is getting longer each year.

RIP Teddy!

VERY sad news, indeed. I had the pleasure of knowing Ted and he was a very friendly guy with a ton of knowledge. Gonna miss you, buddy. RIP old friend.
