Gwan “Chef” Simon, a main staff member of Blackhawk Farms Raceway and integral part of the ASRA family for decades, passed away on Monday, August 26th resulting from injuries sustained in a car accident. In tribute, the ASRA Midwest will be holding a memorial lap in his honor on Saturday, September 14th over lunch during the Blackhawk Farms race weekend. 

Anyone wishing to participate need a helmet and pay the $20 gate entry. ASRA will be donating half of the proceeds from the gate entry to Gwan’s family. 

We will sincerely miss Gwan. He was always encouraging to all of our racers, treating everyone like family, and a main piece of what made Blackhawk what it is. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.
