George Ray passes

[cepx111]

With great sadness I regret to inform to my follow dragracers that George Ray has passed away.

The man was a dragracing legend here in the Midsouth.

He ran George Rays wildcat track in Paragould Ark for many many years.
It was a heads-up only run what you brung track.

Entry fee was only 7 dollars, been that way since the day he opened the track back in the sixties.

RIP George Ray

I just watched a video of George and his track on YouTube last night. If you ever get a chance, watch the segment Joe from Horsepower TV does on Mr. Ray and his track. May you rest in peace Mr. Ray and thank you for all you've done.

I'm an arkansan and have been to this track and met george ray, this was one of the best racers i've ever met, the first time i was ever at his track he talked to me for 30 mins about my car and just nothing other than smalltalk! It's people like this that make drag racing great!! RIP and Godspeed!!

I had planned on going up there next year for the first time to run and meet George. It is a shame he is gone and my prayers go out to the family.
