[DeTomaso] ORRacers lose a friend

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Always one of the 1st racers to greet and meet you in Texas for the Big Bend ORR....A great Texan and racer who also was able to cross the Texas border to race in Nevada and Nebraska.  Think he had a special pass!  ;-)>

He brought his daughter (Lee Ann Powers) to Ely for the Silver State in Sept where he navigated and she drove.  I had my son with me and we hang out together and bs'd for a while - a very special man.   Heard the news a while back on his passing  but just as sad hearing it again today.

I talked to Kenda recently (BBORR vets know who I'm talking about) and she told me that Bud Powers had passed away

after heart surgery.  Anyone who has ran at Big Bend will know Bud as the tall, lanky West Texan who drove the bright yellow

El Camino.  He wore red nomex tucked into his cowboy boots! You usually saw him waiting patiently in his car as the other drivers walked back and forth from their cars to the starting line as they anxiously waited to run.  Typical west Texas friendly,

meaning he'd give you the shirt off his back right after he met you.  His car number changed every year reflecting his age.

Last year he was #88.  Very cool and dearly missed.
