TrailBlazer Friends

The Trailblazers send condolences to the families of Linda Petton and Jack Perkins. Linda Petton, widow of 46X Travis Petton Sr., passed away last week in San Diego County. Travis was a top TT specialist at Ascot and El Cajon Speedway during the 60s until his race related death at Ascot. Their son Travis Jr. continued the Petton tradition in racing, earning Class C Expert status in the 80s and still continues in vintage racing. "Hydraulic" Jack Perkins, long time member of the Dirt Diggers Motorcycle Club, passed away on December 31, 2009. He didn't want any tears, just a big party, so friends thought it was fitting he went on New Years Eve.
