James Richard Hooper, Gone But Not Forgotten

GODSPEED GRANNY ROBISON
Granny and Bill (Beyers) were fixtures at the AMA and CCS events nationwide and especially at
Moroso in West Palm Beach, Fl. Bill and Granny did everything at the track. She would be working
the sign up window and if your paperwork wasn't up to snuff, you got the look first then a scolding.
She was forever telling me little secrets about other folks. I'm sure she told a few about me too!
Those of us who were in racing for the last 30 plus years all know how much fun the two
of them were. And, just so you know.. and I can attest to this: you better be on your
toes when you get to the pearly gates. Knowing Granny, she will be waiting.
Bill is staying in Naples Florida.

Drop him a note and say hey! I know he would love to hear from you
Want to leave a note or story here, just email it to me, I'll post it
We'll miss you Granny!!!!
GODSPEED JIM LESTER
Our old buddy Jim Lester lost his life recently near Deland, Florida.
Jimmy was a hard chaging racer with a big heart, a big smile and a good family man. He will
be missed by all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our sincere best wishes
go out to Jim's family and friends. He will be missed!

Gone But Not Forgotten
Dr. John W. Kearney
The south Florida motorcycle and racing community lost one of its own on Saturday. May 8th, 2002 ironically just a few miles from Moroso Motorsports Park, the race track where Dr. John W. Kearney had spent so many hours looking after many racers and a few fans.
He started coming out to the track in 1982 when Henry DeGouw started promoting racing at the track. He was always on hand to watch the action, consult when necessary and assisted the EMT’s in serious injury cases. Many times I would look over my shoulder in turn one and he would be running to an injured rider.
He loved racing, the racers and being at the track. He rode his motorcycle often enjoying the freedom that so many of us share. Dr. Kearney loved life and enjoyed may other activities. Flying, fishing, bicycling and photography and he was an excellent doctor.
Dr. Kearney was a fixture at our races for 20 years and he will be missed by all.
We all pray for the family and friends he left behind.
GODSPEED Dr. Kearney
