    Hard to Believe Randy Renfrow has been gone 10 years now. I still remember watching him at Summit Point in the late 80's tearing up the track on no matter what bike it was. He was the ideal racer. Unbelievably talented, highly competetive, humble, approachable, always willing to help others no matter who they were. I learned a lot from him and am forever grateful.
    Rest in peace Randy, you are still sorely missed by those whose lives you affected. To the newer racers who want to know the true definition of a racer, I recommend you read some stories about Randy. There are some over on superbike planet.com from yesterday.

    He was also really friendly whenever I'd run into him around Northern VA. And he rode the hell out of an FJ1200 at my first trackday. :beer:

    RIP Randy.

    I have the same doctor as Randy Renfrow did. I show up in the office a couple of weeks after binning it pretty good; he goes "hey, Randy Renfrow used to be my patient and he died falling down a flight of stairs, so don't stop racing, it's dangerous."

    Best 60+ year-old doctor ever.

    Randy was a hell of a guy. Raced motocross with him & his brother Shawn in the 70's. They were always big fun to be around & funny as shit
    . He was fast on a dirt bike as well. He always had bad luck & kept a smile on his face. He is missed!
