Popular nostalgia drag racer and speed shop owner Rick "Surf" Stambaugh of Fredericksburg, Virginia, passed away in his sleep during the night of Friday, May 13, 2011.

Rick, along with son Matt and daughter Robin, ran the New Generation Speed Shop and a series of drag racing cars that bore the same name. Rick and his New Generation machines were well-known participants in funny car, fuel altered, and dragster drag racing from the 1970s through 2011. Rick also was planning to host a nostalgia drag racing event at Sumerduck Raceway in Virginia in October 2011. At this time, all team racing activities are anticipated to continue in Rick's honor.

Memorial services are tentatively scheduled to take place in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Further details are forthcoming.

Join us on Monday night, May 16, as we are joined by one of the most dominating drag racers of his era, two time Top Fuel World Champion Gary Beck! Gary won Indy 72 just ONE MONTH after obtaining his fuel license, then remained one of the top cars throughout the 70s. Then came the 1980s, and Gary's partnership with farming magnate Larry Minor resulted in the sport's first 5.50, 5.40, and 5.30 times. His 1983 season was one of crushing dominance and resulted in another world championship.

Plus John Bockelman with Hit Records from that great year of 1983, and the popular Racin & Rockin AFTER PARTY will feature over two hours of great 1983 music!
