Chester passed away earlier today from complications due to a work related incident ...An old school Drag racing staple, if you knew him he was one of those "Gentle Giants" in the sport, known for giving as much as he got, both on the track and off track. (I have a vivid memory of him appearing in front meh gyap after an erroneous report was made about him in these hallowed Tuner walls years ago to "correct me"..lololol...)

He was a key figure during the Camdem/TTUNDRA days when Waller-field wasn't an option for the sport. Those close to him knew that you can call on him for anything and once he could have...he would have (used his flatbed network services recently for one of my vehicles).

Over the years he moved from active racing to administration in many forms....but i'm sure many of us wanted to see Chester behind the wheel of a Fishvan gain... fighting to keep it in a straight line as he put down a 10 seconds pass.

Rest well Chester.

^ he was a key figure at Wallerfield also. Chester was Chief Scrutineer for Drag Racing events at Wallerfield for the past 3 years.

Heart felt condolences to his family and the entire motor racing community. A fixture at the race track and an overall great guy, he will be missed.

Always with a smile, willing to assist with knowledge or efforts,

As said above was a real catalyst for the resumption or drag racing at Campden and Wallerfield.

Someone you could have counted on

Rest in Peace Chester
