Just Thought I Would Let Everyone Know That My Dad Randy Rabe Passed Away Last Week , He Was A Racing Legend , And Built Rabco Boats In St Petersburg Fl. For 30 Years , He Will Be Missed

Parker:

Please accept my condolences. Your dad was one of the "originals",and I'm sorry he never got to see the wing run.


God Bless you and the family.

Randy was one of the "fun bunch" who made it mandatory to attend a race to see what the are up to. He teamed up with the Joisy guys to form "****et bucket" racing team. Then he got a meat packing company to sponsor the St Pete race. He had T-shirts made that said "You can lick our chops, but you can't beat our meat"!

Parker:I am very sad to hear this news. I was a very good friend of your dad`s, we worked with him in the good old Lake X days, He was one of the original wild men in every way. I last saw him few years back at the St. Pete worlds, he was classic as always in his I believe 66 black Impala, with a major motor that sounded like music to me, I fell in love with that car. We had some quick recall and stories and he was off. He will be missed, my condolences to you and the family, a legend moves to the famous boat testing grounds. It`s a shame we could not have read some of his stories and history. God Bless
