God Speed...Gary Garbrecht
Sadly I must pass on that a true racing and performance boat icon, Gary Garbrecht, passed away of a heart attack. Gary was head of Mercury racing, and later OMC's Formula One Tunnel series. He also was a founding partner of Executioner Powerboats (Fountain). He was president of Aronow Powerboats and Mach Propellers...and most recently owner of the Hydro-Prop Champ boat and unlimited hydro series. His contributions to boat racing, including offshore, are too numerous to mention......
Personally, he was a great help to me in my tunnel boat career and in developing the Shadow Cats.
God Speed.......... Big Guy.

I knew Gary,as well, from the good 'ol tunnel boat days. He was truly an asset to the sport. My condolences to his family.
Rest In Peace, Gary.
