Flat Trackers—
Godspeed Ed Fatzinger Sr. 1 Day ago— Just to let everyone know, my father passed away this morning after losing a battle with cancer. It was pretty advanced when he was diagnosed in May '09. As some of you know he was very passionate about flattrack racing being a rider, sponsor, and bike owner. We will be having a celebration of life get-together "tentively" next weekend at the Lehigh Township firehall in Pennsylvania. I will post a cofirm date and location when I get it.

Thanks to all,
Ed Jr.
