Default R.I.P. Jerry Steinbrick Warpath Racing

Was very sadden to hear Jerry had passed last week. When I was in my late teens (78-79) I discovered Jerry's shop was only about 2 miles from my house & even though I was a "green in the hobby" kid, he always had time to answer my questions & encourage me in my projects. It had been a few years since I had seen him, but every time I had, he remembered me as that kid!


God Bless
Bill

Sorry to hear this news. I'm pretty sure he built an 80''s Grand Prix for Pro Stock racing that had ram Air V heads on it. Seems it went in the low 8's at that time, probably mid 80's timeframe.

Yup was one of the greats of Pontiac racing when others were switching to chevies and other makes . Always had respect for him and his cars.
Thoughts and prayers for him and his family.
