My thoughts and prayers will include him ...
Pancho has beaten me soundly, even tho he didn't know who I was, at multiple "Spook" NCCC hi speed autox's on Summit Jefferson ... and I look forward to being beat again by him!
I'll make sure the Spook sponsoring NVCC folks know thru a note on their Forum.

Sad to hear. I hope things work out & Pancho can get back in action.
It doesn't get any better than hanging out with guys like Pancho, Rob, Geoff, & Capt. Jack.
Get well buddy,
Anthony

Same here. Pancho was the first to show me how well strict line discipline really improved times. His instruction at Putnam really put me into an accelerated learning curve that has put a smile on my face every track event since.

Pancho, there are many more newbies that need that good instruction that you do so well! Get well soon, buddy!

Get well SOON buddy!

We look forward to hearing those tunes blasting from the cockpit while you tear up the courses.

Let us know when you'll be anywhere near Sanford, we'll have to get together at that little mexican joint and order the "LEETLE PANCHO" just to see exactly what the hell it is!

Saw my buddy, Pancho, at Corvettes at Carlisle recently -What a fun and really fantastic person... I didn't know he had had brain surgery... until he told me about it. He was there enjoying the show with some friends - looked to me like he was feeling OK, although a little less pep in his step than I'm used to.

Pancho - it was SO good to see you...I'm glad you came over to say Hi! Please stay positive and hang in there...and know that you've got lots of Corvette friends thinking about you and hoping you are back to feeling like your old self very soon!

Hugs!!!
