The Vintage Auto Racing Association is having their annual Porsche-Alfa Shootout in Las Vegas November 1 - 2. Is anybody else going to be here?
(IMG:http://www.vararacing.com/2003%20Photos/Jeff-Saltman-Memorial-1Med.jpg)Jeff was a good friend that I usually pitted with. We both had the same mechanic. He raced the # 155 Porsche 912. He will be greatly missed. |

Jeff lived in Phoenix and had strong contacts in Las Vegas. Jeff did not take his own life. He truely loved life and enjoyed living it. He was not the type of person to ever do something so selfish to end it at his own hand. Jeff was diagnosed with a brain tumor a year ago. He had some good months and some set backs before he went to the 'big race track in the sky' a few months ago. Jeff and his brother Mike raced the yellow 912 as well as a very sweet black 356. They raced for fun and family. Mike ownes several Doc Holliday's bars. They always provided free breakfast for the racers one morning at the VARA events. Jeff was serious about having fun. How can you not respect a guy who had the resources to race what he wanted but picked a 912. I can not think of a single memory where he was not smiling. He was know for going out of his way to help others. It was truely an honor to have him save me a spot next to his pit. His space was always active with cute girls and racers stopping by to get a boost from his positive attitude. Jeff liked the way I used a screw in 914 tow eye on the front of my car. I gave him my spare and he made the same welded bracket on his yellow car.
Blake - I'll give ya a call when you are here. |
