> Fellow Builders,
> For those building alternate engines and considering turbocharging, we've lost
a wonderful friend, "Turbo Tom" Wyatt. He and his girlfriend were killed in a
car accident in January.
> Tom contacted me out of the blue a couple of years ago because he had heard
from a mutual friend we were struggling with selecting a turbo. He took a great
deal of time (and patience) to explain the
> process, analize our needs and going through the compressor maps with me to
help enable me to make a selection with confidence. I could always ask him a
question and get a helpful and thoughtful
> answer. I was wondering what was wrong when a few weks ago I sent him an email
and never heard from him. I had only met Tom once, briefly at Sun-n-fun and he
was such a genuinely nice guy. We had
> many email exchanges and several hours of phone discussions. He will be dearly
missed, a friend, he really enjoyed helping people out, he was a huge asset to
the racing and aviation community both
> technically and as an unselfish helping hand.
