I met Shorty last year when I was living in Rockport and made my racing debut at the "BULLRING". I pitted near him and he was one of the nicest and most polite person you could meet. I was amazed at the fact that he had cancer but wasn't giving up what he loved. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
