Anyone seen / heard Rick Lake??
Realized Rick hasn't been around in a while. Hope no health issues.
A professional hands-on guy with a heavily-raced ERA and Shelby blocks-he always has a lot of tech to contribute.
And does that unselfishly.
We really need tech-savvy guys; hope all is well and he shows up.
Anyone been in contact?

He was logged in yesterday, maybe just has not had anything he wanted to respond to since early January.

Would have been better if Jay had said he was trying to figure out how to start a new paragraph.

I saw that first hand at the last Run N Gun. He drove 1,400 miles each way and spent the majority of his time helping other guys (including me) instead of driving his own car.
That's a rare breed these days. |

He always starts with the OP's first name. Then manhandles the OP's mechanical problem into submission.
What I love about him are his very clear-cut, detailed technical explanations. He always tells only what he has first-hand experience with. No internet fol-de-rol.
He sometimes ends by providing his phone number; something NO ONE else I ever saw here does.
To second Dallas' point, how about when he dragged 747Jockey's (where's he been??:confused:) hulk from LI (or Rick's Jersey home, I forget) to freekin' Michigan and Coombs place-alone and for free??

No doubt, Rick is a legend. One of the most helpful people I've ever met. Glad to hear he's good and busy.

Here is a PM from Rick when I had a problem some time ago...
"I am not selling anything, but will help you". He went on to explain what I needed to do.
What a great guy!

Rick is a great guy. I met him at my first Run n Gun in 2001. I was a complete novice and had major mechanical problems. I pulled my engine 3 times at that event. He helped me into the very early hours. Knowledgable too.

Tons of great info. A real class act.

I'm here, STILL alive and kickin'!:LOL:
More importantly. Rick is one of the most helpful, genuine, tremendous guys I have ever had the honor to encounter. He did haul my car from New Hampshire to NJ to Michigan. I have no words to describe Rick - he's just a awesome guy. It's my privilege to call him a friend. |
