How old is doug fink

I had apparently dropped it at Brewerton the night before and a fan had given it to him. Brewerton announcer Adam Buchanan got his start in the business due to Harvey and it is very much appreciated.

In everything he did Harvey did things with class and integrity. He treated us all like family. We talked all the time about our racing family and no place did this resonate more than at Brewerton and Fulton especially under the guidance of Harvey, Joan and the Fink family. They always have been and always will be the patriarch and matriarch of our racing family.

We will see you Friday night and go from there. Deep down he showed he cared. HE was like my racing grandfather, firm handshake and sly smile. He will be greatly missed. They took a chance on an year-old teenager back in allowing me to do their websites. Over the years I added many responsibilities, but what was always true was that it was a family atmosphere. Harvey was a great man and taught me a lot about race operations and I know I speak for many as he made all of us better race officials.

Harvey instilled in us that we could not waste seconds as those seconds add up through the night and delays the show that no one in the stands could tolerate.

Those times made us all better. I owe a lot to him. I will forever be indebted. We had a great team way back when under them. Harvey realized the importance of youngsters falling in love with auto racing and that is where Dave and Nancy MacDonald came aboard. They sat in back of me each week and one night Joan tapped me on the shoulder and gave me a heads up that she likes to yell and scream for her favorite drivers. We shared a chuckle and that conversation led to a friendship that lasted over 25 years.

It was that relationship that evolved into a long standing contribution to the Brewerton Speedway. I discussed it with my wife Nancy and our children and decided we would be willing to do it. Light a candle Illuminate their memory.
