Another of our racing icons has left us. Bob Pierson who with his
brother Dick campaigned their revolutionary, record setting, radically
chopped and channeled coupe died in his sleep.
An email from his wife reads:
Would you please do whatever is necessary to notify everyone of
Roberts passing. In the early hours of April 29, 2009 he died
peacefully in his sleep at home with me. He had not felt well for
several months and was on oxygen. He had recently been advised not
to travel to the Salt flats. Any donation in his name can be sent to
Save the Salt. Bob truly appreciated all of his friends at the
Flats and it was the highlight of his year. I too will personally
miss our comradry.
Thank you so much for your assistance and friendship.
Sincerely, Sandra Pierson
PS. Per Bobs request there will be no services.
