I want to thank all of you also for being weekend warrior friends to my Dad and
Mom. They really enjoyed the great atmosphere and especially nice folks
involved in Vintage racing. I hope to be back soon with complete rebuilt engine
in the 1971 black Spitfire that my brother Dan, father Ed and I raced together.
We miss you Dad!
See you at the races!
Dave Ceilley

Subject: Re: [Fot] Ceilley Nomination
Thanks so much Marty, Joe and everyone. Had it not been for vintage racing, my
Dad, Mom, brother Dave and I would not have crossed paths with so many fine
people, many of which are on this list. I had been on it before, but in
changing my e-mail awhile back I lost touch. We really enjoyed the camaraderie
and look forward to staying involved. My Dad's '69 GT-6 was the car that we all
started with back in 1991, and I look forward to doing a complete frame up
restoration on it. I hope there's some GT-6 guys out there to offer some
advice, I'll need it! The black '71 Spitfire was a car (with a unique history)
that I purchased in 1996 and raced (with a lot of help from willing hands!)
until my brother Dave and Dad partnered up with me and eventually purchased
outright as demands of home and family prevailed. Dave will continue to race
it, and my Mom and I plan to help out as crew members.
Sorry to be long winded, but I wanted to share that and thank everyone who
touched my father's life through the sport. He truly loved it and the people he
met because of it. It's unfortunate that the vintage racing community has lost
three people recently that I personally knew and felt exemplified the spirit of
the sport: my Dad, Jack Drews and Mike Cammarata. I hope we can carry on in
that same spirit.
Best Regards,
Dan Ceilley
