STEVE WALSH- Driver, Instructor, Friend
December 12th, 2008, Features
We meet some wonderful people in life, but, on very rare occasion we are given the opportunity to meet and become friends with truly unique and gifted people.
People, for me anyhow, who I wish I were more like. People who we admire for their intellect, their sense of humor, their wit and their numerous talents.
These people are indeed a rare commodity. They are the few- and through the years we always remember them for the better- never the worse. They will always go the extra mile and for no particular reason; they just do. They always find a way to make you smile, their greeting is always sincere and you just like knowing that you know them…it feels good! You can’t help but like being around them. They are rare indeed and when they are gone they are missed ever-so-much.
Steve Walsh, one of these people and we will miss you ever -so- much.
I am pretty damned certain that the old man up stairs has the coolest racetrack anywhere…do a quick one for us lad!

There are special times in ones life that you meet someone and have the opportunity to work side by side with a true professional. Steve Walsh was one of those joys in life. I will always have fond memories instructing new enthusiasts at various California race tracks along side of Steve. His dedication to the sport was un- equaled, as he commuted from the San Fransisco area to become a solid figure at all the driving schools. Racing was his life and he was good at it, as I look back at the 25 hrs of Thunder Hill, competing in a BMW M3, Steve was there as well. Steve You will be physically missed, however you will always be there in spirit. Thank You for all that you have done for racers, God Speed my friend. Tony “a2z racer” Adamowicz
