[emrat:7648] Eddie Kretz Jr Memorial Ride This Weekend

For those who are familiar with, or might have known Ed, the 2nd Kretz Memorial Ride is Saturday, August 22. Ed was a very accomplished TT, on and off road racer in the 50's and 60's. Of course I'm sure you all know of his Dad the "Iron Man" who won the very first Daytona 200 in 1937.

Ed lived in Sedalia and I had visited with him on numerous occasions up until his passing. Ed was a wonderful man and I enjoyed listening to his stories of motorcycle racing about himself and his Dad. If you didn't have the pleasure of meeting Ed you missed meeting one of the most genuine people who ever road a motorcycle. It's unfortunate we never got to ride together as we talked about doing...Ed on his original 67 T120R and me on my 68 T120R.
