Rest in peace Ken Hall

[TPLACE31]

It is with sadness that we inform the racing community of the passing of Kenny Hall. Kenny was a fierce competitor in the CSH & DSH classes and proudly wore his 1958 SSOA Championship jacket to every race. (Resized in later years!!). Perhaps he was best known for his engine work around the 4 cylinder Mercury's as he had a hand in many Championship engines. Although he was known to embellish a little on the stories from the days of yester-year, there was no denying that he was an accomplished wrench.

Kenny had returned to the sport for the past ten years and never attended a race without towing some type of SSOA equipment to and from the the event. He will be missed by all of us that were touched by his kindness.

My condolences. Ken helped me back in the 70's when i started running DSH. I spent many hours in his workshop and at the Maine Lakehouse dialing in engines.

What a sad loss to Region 1.......

Ken really was a great guy. Super friendly and helpful to new racers and veterans alike. He was one person I always sought out in the pits- always had something useful, helpful, or funny to say. A real treasure.

Please keep us informed about any arrangements.

So sorry to hear. I met Ken at the Haverhill race Iwhen remember him giving me a hard time about my boat being so big and the look on his face when I told him it was so I could get across the four footers.

A few years go when I began coming down to Standish and Kingston to race
D ClassicH with my 'Mercs of Many Colors', I would see Ken standing close by giving me the critical eye.
We did not know each other then, and his remarks and questions to me were very polite and respectful.
I quickly figured this guy knew some thing about 4 cylinders, and soon it was I asking the questions,
and getting straight answers. Discussing the Super Thunderbolt rule with him, he took a stick and in the sand
drew a pic of the tuner profile he thought I should use. I took his advice.
A man I will miss.

Kenny has gone on ahead of us to that place where all Kiekhaefer mags put out 40,000-V "all day long" and every race day is sunny and mild. He leaves behind "Pinky" and the rest of us to miss him at every APBA and AOMCI meet. R.I.P. Kenny

I loved that man. Every single time I saw him, he had a big smile and an even bigger hug for me. He was so very special and he made others feel just as special. I feel sad at this loss. RIP.
