Title: Maxton today
Post by: smithabusa on October 24, 2009, 02:36:19 PM
Not sure of the name, bike guy just called and said an older gentleman on a busa went down in the shutdown area, and passed away about an hour ago.

Said he had been to bonneville before and wanted to try out maxton, RIP, man this sucks.

Terrible news. Leslie & I met Guy at World of Speed 2008. We all went to the University of Florida, and had fun. He was very enthusiastic, friendly, and fast. Rest in peace Guy.

Guy was a Tiger Racing sponsored racer.  I tech-ed him in Friday and he was in great spirits and couldn't wait to ride the Maxton Mile.  He made a good clean pass of about 191 and went thru the traps without incident.  Moments later the emergency horn rang and the crash crews were on the course.  We know nothing more than he went off course just before long shutdown.  Accident investigation is in progress and the family has arrived here at Maxton.  
He went doing what really excited him in life, LSR.  He attended Bonneville and made many friends with who ever he met.  His excitement about LSR was infectious and you couldn't help but smile when you talked with him.
The entire Maxton and LSR family grieves at this loss and our prayers and condolences go out to his family and friends.

Very sad to hear, a racer told me this morning and we posted it on Landracing however later we heard that Guy had passed..very hard to hear of a fellow racer dying in the pursuit of his goals and desires.

Our prayers are with the family and friends of Guy Lombardi.  :(

Obituary from the Sarasota Herald Tribune

Gaetano R. "Guy" Lombardi, 67, of Sarasota, formerly of Bronx, N.Y., died Oct. 24, 2009.
A memorial service will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Faith Baptist Church, 8751 Fruitville Rd, Sarasota, FL. A celebration of life service will be at 2 p.m. at the Potter Building next to Robarts Arena, 3000 Ringling Blvd, Sarasota, FL.
Please wear Florida Gator gear in honor of Guy.
Survivors include a daughter, Gina Lombardi Tidwell of Charlotte, N.C.; sons Joseph and Vincent, both of Sarasota; a sister, Carole Ortiz of New York City; a brother, Burt Zupa of Sarasota, and his granddaughter,
Kelsey Tidwell. Guy is also survived by two nieces, Carol Post and Jean Wallace, and a nephew, Burt Zupa.
He was a 1966 graduate of the University of Florida and a member of Phi Delta Theta. Guy was the owner of University Motors of Sarasota. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiast who broke the 200 m.p.h. land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 2008.
He was a strong Christian who loved the Lord and dedicated himself to helping people and animals.
Memorial donations may be made to the Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C.

I know I speak for myself, as well as the entire ECTA membership when I say that we are all deeply saddened by Guy’s untimely passing and would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the entire Lombardi Family and Guy’s life partner, Ruby Justice.
