Got to meet him at GTO Nat's in Wichita, in 2010. He and other Pontiac legends were on a question board, it was a fun, cool deal.
He used to post here quite a bit, it's been a few years since I have noticed him here.

This will explain who Mr. Hendrickson is. I figured anyone into early F-bodies would know the name.
Sorry to hear of his passing...

Craig went by Craig Hendrickson

Seemed he had another name at 1st and changed it one of the times PY had problems?

But anyway, he was part 'H' of HO Racing, Pontiac extraodinaire!

As I said forgive my ignorance, I don’t know every person here, nor do I know everyone who has an F-body, or those in the racing circuit who have Pontiacs. However thank you for the clarity with the link. Thoughts go out to his family.

He liked Packards too! I wonder if he was able to finish this one.

Extremely sad to hear about Craig Hendrickson passing away.
Thanks for relaying the news, Ken Crocie.
Thoughts & Prayers for his family and many friends.

H-O Racing Specialties were responsible for cultivating more Pontiac Gear Heads in the 70's and 80's - nationwide/worldwide - than all other sources combined.
Their literature/specs/ID sheets were the "Bible" for PMD enthusiasts/hobbiers.
Every full-blooded Poncho owner i knew had those sheets.
Many of us had most or all of it memorized.

Just that small work alone, became a tremendous contribution to the Pontiac World of the day and times. Not to mention all of their goodies and supplies.

Rest In Peace - and Thank You , Mister H
