Sad news, no doubt. I had the privilege of meeting Bob many times at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout.

Had to write a blog about him and Jeff to pay my respects.

so sad i was thinking about Bob and Randy Linebach setting up racing at the pearly gates Randy died in 2004 in the Airborn/Big Thunder boat (ironic isnt it) Randy was a good friend, and was laid to rest on my birthday April 2004. Bob was an aquaintance that i got to have dinner with once in a while when i was passing through town These two men i am sure are now racing in the clouds "GOD"S SPEED" now has a whole differnt meaning RIP my friends I will never forget either one of you

I have had the honor to know Bob Morgan for over twenty years. He was a great friend and will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go to Sue, Robby and the rest of the family. I did not know JT well but he was always a great guy to talk with and our thoughts and prayers are with him also. They were both looking foreward to this race so much because they had prepared so well. Bob and I talked many times about racing, and to do it while you are able but also knowing the risks. He was doing what he loved.

Default God Bless Bob

Known Bob Morgan from years of racing, he was a Missouri boy like me and a very nice guy. Hope you stay strong Sue, Bob will be missed. When I was working for Tron at Nor-tech Bob came in to visit. Got a big "guy hug" and said our hello's and best wishes. He was always a super nice person to me. Liked talking to him about his old muscle cars.

God bless and prayers to your family.

P.S. So tired of losing friends and associates. Please keep racing but be careful as you can be. Many fans feel the same as well I'm sure.
