AROC Detroit member Nate Trask lost his battle to cancer on August 30, 2009. Nate joined our club through our motorsports activities, through many of our members who also work for Ford. He was very active at all of our autocross events, to the point of joining the board of the Detroit Council of Sports Car Clubs, being the points keeper after he came up with a few unique ways to tally points between the various classes.
While we could never find an Alfa that fit Nate's tall frame, the driving we saw in his Miata was very impressive. Nate was one of the better drivers in not only AROC, but the entire DCSCC. Although watching him drive will be missed, we will miss his presence, his hard work, and his constant smile far more.
AROC Detroit and the DCSCC extends its deepest sympathies to his wife Deb, and his two children, Morgan and Landon.
