I spoke to Vic Edelbrock at the Vintage Race at Watkins Glen 2 years ago, he talked about the great weekend ahead. He took the time to go into his trailer get a Red Hat and sign it for me. I got a picture of him near a beautiful blue Sunoco Camaro, imagine your name cast in metal forever.

I'm really sorry to hear of his passing. We met Vic, and his daughter Christi, when we raced with them at Lime Rock and Watkins Glen in 2014, as part of the Historic Trans Am Series. Vic was racing his former Bud Moore Racing/George Follmer 69 Boss 302 (Christi was racing her former Smokey Yunick 67 Z/28).

Vic was a super nice guy, and very friendly, he would stop and talked to everyone that got near him. One of the other guys that crews on our TA Camaro, works in the film industry, and often travels to LA. He was in LA about a month after we were at The Glen, and had lunch with Vic, who then gave him a personal tour of the Edelbrock museum and car collection, "Vic's Garage".
