It was posted on the SAAC forum that Randy Gillis passed away. He was very well known for sharing information with others. He will be missed. Here are many compliments for him when he recently retired.

Randy was a wealth of engine information . He drag raced his 66 Shelby like nobody else I have ever heard of . Randy will be sorely missed. RIP my friend.
