Remembering Gary Bockman By Jeff Zurschmeide
Gary Bockman passed away on Thurs-day, Jan. 9. Bockman had been involved with the Pacific Northwest motorsports community since the early 1970s, becoming one of the most successful and versatile racing drivers the region has produced. He was also a leading advocate for Portland International Raceway.
“This track is my home,” Bockman often said. He proved that by volunteering his time for any project the track needed. Over the years, Bockman’s contributions ranged from putting in flower beds to refurbishing the bridge that crosses the track on the front straight.
When PIR’s future was thrown into doubt by Mayor Tom Potter in 2005, Bockman led the formation of Friends of PIR, a non-profit support organiza-tion created to advocate on behalf of the facility. Bockman rallied civic and business leaders, along with thousands of Portlanders, to support the track as a city resource. Bockman served as the group’s president several times over the organization’s 15-year history.
“Our hearts ache today,” said E.C. Muel-ler, general manager of Portland Inter-national Raceway. “Gary Bockman was my dearest friend, the biggest Portland International Raceway supporter of all time, and my partner for all things at the racetrack. It will take more than 100 hands to do what his two hands have done before.”
Bockman built a distinguished racing career over almost 50 years. Together with his friend Chuck Shafer, Bockman set a world speed record in 2000 at the Silver State Classic. On a closed-off stretch of Nevada highway, Bockman clocked an average speed of 207.780 mph. At the time, that was the highest average speed ever achieved on a public highway.
Bockman also drove to a third-place finish in the 2008 Alcan 5000 Winter
Rally, traveling hundreds of miles north of the Arctic Circle and onto the ice of the Arctic Ocean.
Bockman’s amateur and profes-sional racing resumé includes numerous championships with both Oregon Re-gion of SCCA and his beloved Cascade Sports Car Club. In 1996, he claimed second place in GT-3 at the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, and he almost won the same race in 2016. His blue and white Mazda RX-3 was easily recognizable at the Runoffs. Bockman also raced in Spec Miata, and was one of the leading West Coast drivers in the class.
In addition to competing, Bockman enjoyed teaching new drivers the arts of auto racing. He trained hundreds of amateur racing drivers and loved to take people for their first time driving on a racetrack. He invested time as an instructor in safe driving schools for teens as well as adults.
Throughout his life, Bockman demon-strated his dedication to his sport and his community.
A memorial service will be held on February 29th, 4:30 PM at World of Speed racing museum in Wilsonville.

Top Dead Center - Three Great Racers Depart
By Jeff Zurschmeide, Area 13 DirectorIt’s been a rough winter. Since last month’s tribute to our longstand-ing board secretary Mary Thompson, three more great members of Oregon Region SCCA have passed away. Each one brought a unique combination of passion and dedication to the sport.
Gary Bockman’s contributions to the sport have been well-documented, but that doesn’t describe the experience of being around him when he was winning, or when things went badly. In each case, you got a deeper look at the character of the man. In victory, Gary was exultant - he’d stop and climb the catch fence, or simply be jumping around for the sheer joy of the moment. His enthusiasm was contagious. I also saw Gary just after he missed winning an SCCA national championship because of a failed $10 part. He was down, but far from finished. He came back to compete again at Sonoma. Above all, Gary loved racing and the racing com-munity.
Marshall Atherton was a mainstay of Oregon racing for well over 50 years. He competed in the very first Rose Cup back in 1961, and remained active as a driver well into this century. Marshall always had a smile for everyone, and he was generous with praise and as-sistance. He founded 99West Trailers, and that business has helped out countless racers. Marshall was a true gentleman of the sport.
Dave Franks introduced himself to me in 1997, saying he was plan-ning to build a Sprite to go vintage racing. We went together to look over the project car he purchased, and began racing together soon after. Dave put together a leading racing program in just a few years, bringing his immaculately prepped Sprite to every Oregon Region event. It wasn’t long before Dave was drafted into the steward’s corps, and he served on the region board of directors as well.
There will be a memorial for Dave held at Stickmen Brewery in Tualatin on Sunday, February 9 from 1-4 pm. Everyone is welcome.
Oregon Region SCCA survives and thrives entirely on the basis of its members. This is especially true of those who step up and help organize and manage racing programs. These three racers have left a legacy of friendship and service, as well as a great example of how to have fun in racing. I think the best way to honor them is to contine to race, to be a friend, and to work for the good of the sport.

Runoffs Rotation Plans AnnouncedNote from Area Director Jeff Zur-schmeide - This change in policy was argued strongly on the board. While this is a setback for west coast racers, we will continue to argue for a west coast rota-tion for future Runoffs.
+ + + +
After a run of seven different venues over seven years, Sports Car Club of America’s leadership will shift its strategy beginning in 2022 for the iconic SCCA® National Championship Runoffs®.
A thorough analysis of the entire Runoffs venue rotation program, which included member/participant feedback from National Championships and participation trends from each of SCCA’s nine divisions over the last seven seasons, has resulted in a decision to again focus on Runoffs venues east of the Mississippi following the 2021 National Championship. Additionally, Sports Car Club of America® will now also consider two-year stints at select venues in the future.
While Runoffs rotation did offer some members an opportunity to compete who otherwise would not have, analysis shows rotation also introduced incon-sistency across divisions. Participation typically increased locally when the Runoffs was “coming to town.” How-ever, in off years, involvement actually decreased below levels seen prior to the rotation. Research revealed that even some of the most dedicated national racers opted to skip a Runoffs event because of location in a single year.
SCCA leadership -- which includes the Board of Directors, Club Racing Board and national staff -- recognizes any strategic shift may disappoint some of the membership, and difficult deci-sions such as this are not made lightly. However, these changes are appropriate to support the goals of the organization as a whole -- to fuel a safe, fun and
exciting motorsports experience for au-tomotive enthusiasts -- as well as build healthier, more stable road racing pro-grams across the country. The decision to adjust the Runoffs rotation comes in concert with creation of a Runoffs Appearance Fund for 2020, an initiative designed to assist top performing racers during the season with funds to attend the Runoffs, particularly those competi-tors who travel a great distance.
As for conducting Runoffs events for two consecutive years at some venues, that decision resulted from feedback provided by drivers, teams, workers and fans. They voiced a desire to develop greater familiarity with a track, facility and surrounding areas with visits in consecutive years. Two-year stints will also allow event organizers the oppor-
tunity to amortize new venue expenses and focus on other elements of the Road Racing program.
SCCA’s Runoffs -- the year-end, winner-take-all championship event for the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing program -- began its rotation back in 2014 with a visit to Weath-erTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Cali-fornia. Daytona International Speedway then hosted the Runoffs in 2015, fol-lowed by Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 2016, Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2017, Sonoma Raceway in 2018 and VIRginia International Raceway this past year. In 2020, the event will return to Road America, which previously hosted the National Championship from 2009 to 2013, before returning in 2021 to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Hall of Fame
Finally, the Hall of Fame honorees inducted Saturday evening were: Bill and Jane Goodale, Walt Hansgen, Scott Harvey, Joe Huffaker, Cat Kizer, Bob and Patty Tunnell, and Dave and Sherrie Weitzenhof.
Bill and Jane Goodale
Within the Sports Car Club of America, Bill and Jane Goodale have been far more than accomplished drivers. They
13 Oregon Region SCCA
Authorized Dealer for Spec Racer Ford
have been leaders, facilitators, officials and even mentors. It could be argued that most SCCA members have been affected by their efforts, certainly on the Solo side. But beyond that, the grace, kindness and sense of inclusion they’ve displayed has become a hallmark of SCCA’s Solo Program.
Jane was Solo Chair during the 1970s when New England Region’s Solo program was just beginning to be a presence. She traveled the ProSolo circuit and went on to lend support to the Region and fellow competitors, and was well known as host of the Region party at Solo Nationals. Meanwhile, Bill was New England Region’s first, and for decades only, Solo Novice chair.
In the early years of Solo Nationals, Chief Stewards were usually from outside the Solo community. When that changed to instead utilize those involved in autocross, Bill was one of the first to be asked to fill the role. He did for decades, working with and mentoring many others who have taken on the role as Solo Nationals grew. Bill’s record in competition was impressive, too, as he was named the 1989 Driver of Eminence, received the 2010 Solo Cup, and claimed several national champion-ships along the way.
Walt Hansgen
A member of the Northern New Jersey Region since joining SCCA in 1951, Walt Hansgen’s influence and impact in American and European sports car racing was immense. As a competitor, Hansgen achieved much. He was a four-time SCCA “C” Modified National Champion, a three-time recipient of SC-CA’s President’s Cup, and competed at world-class endurance events, NASCAR Grand National races, and a couple Grands Prix. Hansgen was also named the New York Times “Best Driver of the Year” and Sports Illustrated “U.S. Sports Car Driver of the Year.”
Hansgen’s successful racing career aside, he was a very active member of the Northern New Jersey Region where he
held the Regional Executive position. On a National level, he served on the Competition Board and worked dili-gently to improve the Club’s road racing program, safety standards and com-petition rules. Additionally, Hansgen conducted racecourse safety inspec-tions, making recommendations for circuit improvements to benefit drivers, crew and spectators alike -- standards that are still in use today. Hansgen also served as an early president of the Road Racing Drivers Club (RRDC).
Scott Harvey
While attending UCLA in the 1950s, engineering student Scott Harvey began rally and racing efforts in an MG-TD. By 1956, he had joined the Sports Car Club of America and was working as a Chrysler engineer in Detroit where he managed to convince superiors to loan him a 300D for motorsport activities -- the first in a long string of Chrysler products he competed in over the years. And while some know Harvey for engineering high-performance suspension parts, his real impact came through advancing the sport of perfor-mance rally.
It is Harvey’s early adoption of the European idea of high-speed rally that landed him in the SCCA Hall of Fame. He helped form a club, called The Ral-ligators, that worked alongside SCCA’s Detroit Region to create European ral-lying in the United States. Harvey was instrumental in creation of the MONY (Michigan, Ohio, New York) rally series, with most MONY events
being SCCA rallies. This eventually led to creation of the SCCA PRO Rally se-ries in 1973, which Harvey became first overall champion. Before that, he had participated in traditional Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rallies where in 1963 and 1964 he won the SCCA National TSD championship.
In 1968, Harvey served as Chairman and Rallymaster of the Press On Re-gardless rally, a milestone event for the sport in America and the longest run-ning rally event in SCCA history. Under his leadership, Harvey and the Press On Regardless were awarded the prestigious Arthur Gervais Rally of the Year in 1968 by SCCA, the first time a “performance” rally had been selected for the award. Harvey was also instrumental in bring-ing the World Rally Championship to the United States with his involvement in the 1972 Press On Regardless rally, an event in 1973 and 1974 with World Championship status.
14 Oregon Region SCCA
Joe Huffaker
“Little” Joe Huffaker, the son of 2017 SCCA Hall of Fame inductee Joe Huf-faker, has made a big mark in Sports Car Club of America road racing. At an early age, the younger Huffaker helped out around his father’s garage before “officially” joining Huffaker Engineering in the early 1970s. Over the years he gathered a lot of useful knowledge, from his father and great drivers and me-chanics, before taking over the business in 1991 when his father retired.
The younger Joe, however, didn’t just continue his father’s work. He sig-nificantly expanded the operation to become a force throughout SCCA Club Racing and Pro Racing, maintaining the highest possible standards in car construction and presentation, regard-less of the series. As proof, note the fact that Huffaker Engineering has produced over 35 SCCA Runoffs® National Cham-pionship cars and claimed three SCCA Trans Am titles. Their successful record has earned the Huffakers the honor of being the very first father-son duo to be inducted into the Sports Car Club of America Hall of Fame.
Beyond his car and engine building prowess, “Little” Joe -- who actually stands 6 feet 5 inches tall -- is an equally talented racecar driver. He has too many wins to count in SCCA road racing competition. But a couple highlights, as of 2019, include his 13 poles at the Run-offs and 10 National Championships gathered up across two different classes in cars he designed, built and prepared -- a feat that stands as testament to Joe’s immense talent.
Cat Kizer
A continuous member of SCCA since 1976, Catherine “Cat” Kizer holds a special place in SCCA history. She was the first female to be crowned a Runoffs champion, and the only woman to be awarded the President’s Cup. These two accomplishments have made Kizer a role model for other female racers.
It was 1979 when Kizer made history at Road Atlanta during the National Championship Runoffs. She faced a formidable field of competitors, many of whom were previous national champi-ons. Starting from eighth on the grid, she quickly drove her H Production Red Roof Inns MG Midget into the lead. A great battle ensued up front, but it was Kizer who was first to the checkered flag. That inspiring drive earned her the prestigious President’s Cup award that year. The following year, Kizer was back at the Runoffs, placing her car on pole and finishing third in the race.
Bob and Patty Tunnell
The Solo duo of Patty and Bob Tunnell have posted an illustrious record when it comes to autocross competition. From Volkswagens in the early 1980s, through a long and storied stretch driving BMWs at many preparation levels, the married couple achieved success few have matched. They have claimed nu-merous Solo Nationals Championships and ProSolo Championships across many classes and categories, from Stock through Modified, in cars which were not the obvious choice for victory. Bob’s recognition awards from SCCA have included the Solo Cup and, together with Patty, Driver of Eminence.
Beyond their success between the orange cones, the Tunnells stand as an example of how to be active, involved members of both the Solo community and Club as a whole. Bob has served the Club on a variety of fronts, including time on the Solo Events Board and as a Chief Steward for Solo Nationals. Patty and Bob have also lent their valuable experience and positive attitude to the Club’s burgeoning Time Trials National Tour program. All throughout, the Tunnells never forgot how important it is to encourage experienced competi-tors to befriend and mentor those new to SCCA activities. Their kindness and compassion are also on display through philanthropic endeavors that create a very positive image for the Sports Car
Club of America.
Dave and Sherrie Weitzenhof
Dave Weitzenhof ’s record over more than 50 years of SCCA road racing demonstrates his skill as both a driver and technician. Overall, he has seven SCCA National Championships and was presented with the Road Racing Drivers’ Club Mark Donohue Award in 1972, as well as the 1977 SCCA President’s Cup trophy. But as Dave himself admits, none of that would’ve been possible without the help of his wife, Sherrie Weitzenhof, who has been by his side and an instrumental part of the “team” throughout half a century of racing. The fact that Sherrie is officially recognized as a “Friend of the Road Racing Drivers’ Club” proves that point. Furthermore, Sherrie supported the SCCA NeOhio Region by organizing many events, including the successful and long running Competition Clinic, and she chaired the NeOhio Hall of Fame committee.
To his credit, Dave earned four SCCA Runoffs wins in the highly competitive Formula Ford class, as well as a pair of Formula Continental Runoffs victories and a Formula Vee SCCA National Championship. Beyond that, he has won far too many SCCA races to count. Out-side the car, Dave was an accomplished engineer with Bridgestone/Firestone and has numerous patents to his name. Throughout his involvement in SCCA racing, Dave openly shared insights on car setup and vehicle dynamics, as well as his tire expertise with fellow racers. Some of that know-how was deployed while serving as a test driver for devel-opment of the Sports Renault program, which evolved to become Spec Racer Ford -- one of SCCA’s most popular car classes in road racing.
