Rayburn Pennington
 

I hope this is the appropriate forum for this post. If a moderator needs to move it I understand. But I wanted to post this where everyone would see it.

It is with a sad heart I have to inform you that Rayburn Pennington passed away last night from complications following a minor surgery last week.
Rayburn and his Motion Manta Ray were one of the early supporters of the Supercar Reunion and MCACN.
He had never missed either show since the beginning until just the last few years when his health began to decline. Anyone who met Rayburn will remember him as a very friendly and a fine gentleman. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...-img_06701.jpg
He was a very dear friend of mine and will be missed greatly.

That is sad news indeed. Ray was a great car enthusiast, and a very fine gentleman. They don't make them like Ray anymore, and that is sad.

Condolences to his family... He was a really nice guy and one of the first guys to introduce himself to me at SCR1 back in 1998.

Very sorry to read this.First met him @ SCR 5 then 6-7-8-9 & 10.
Really a nice guy with who had some good stories & a phenomenal Corvette.

Met Rayburn at SCR1, a true car guy. He rode back with me from the drag strip at Nashville in the Yellow Sub, was grinning from ear to ear as Cliff Ernst, in another Yenko Camaro, ran along side us.

A real assist to our hobby, a close friend of the Clary family.

He will be missed by all who knew him.

Hi Jamie, so sorry to hear about this. You and I talked about his struggles at MCACN and that you thought he was on the upswing and getting a bit better. Like the others, I met him at the Supercar reunions...I think the first was SCR8.

Take it easy Jamie...we'll see you soon...and rest in peace, Rayburn!

So sorry to hear this. Jamie and I talked about Rayburn at MCACN this year and, as said above, I understood his health issues were improving. Hoped to see him again at the SCR this year.

Condolences to his friends and family. Godspeed Mr. Pennington. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]
