It is with deepest sadness that we report the passing of our friend, colleague, and President, Rob Goldfarb. Rob was killed on Sunday in a racing accident at an SCCA event at Pocono. The following is the text of the report in the Boston Globe:
Massachusetts race car driver killed when car hits wall By Associated Press, 8/6/2002 09:02
EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP)
An amateur race car driver from Massachusetts was killed when he lost control of his modified 1999 Corvette and struck a concrete barrier at the Pocono International Raceway, officials said. Robert Goldfarb, 45, of Duxbury, Mass., died Sunday from blunt force trauma to the head, Monroe County Chief Deputy Coroner Jody Hutton said. An autopsy was performed Monday.
The accident happened during the second lap of a Sports Car Club of America event Sunday.
''At this point it is under investigation by our people,'' said Robert Keating, president of the club's northeast Pennsylvania region. He said investigators did not know what caused Goldfarb to lose control of his vehicle. It was the first fatal accident during a club event at Pocono International Raceway since the club started using the track in 1968, Keating said. Pocono Mountain Regional police responded to the accident. But officials said police are not investigating because the death happened during a sanctioned race. Rob has been a member of COM for over five years and President for the past two years. He has made significant contributions to the organization and operation of the club, and his grace and humor will be deeply missed by all.<ul><li><a href="http://scca.org/news/press02_23.html">link</a></li></ul>
