Ron Shantz passed away on January 18th. I'm not sure if anyone on here would know or remember him, but here's a brief summary of his racing history:

- 1968 and 69 he began racing in a Mini Cooper S.
- 1970 he won the Canadian under 2 litre championship.
- 1971 he raced his car and Rob Tanner's Mk 1 Escort twin cam
- 1972 built and raced a Datsun 1200 and won the Ontario Region 'C' Sedan and overall championships and the Canadian National 'C' Sedan championship.
- 1973 raced a Lotus 69B Formula B car (later called Formula Atlantic) and finished 7th in the Player's Challenge Series

Ron was a member of the Grand Valley Car Club. In addition to all this he and my father ran Auto Race Developments.

Ryan, thanks for passing this info on. I remember Ron well from his mini racing days and will pass this on to my old racer friends. You might want to post this on the Canadian Motor Sport History Group (Yahoo group forum).

Another good one is gone.
