I was very saddened to hear about the passing of George Berejik. I was fortunate to have spoken with him one time at a large Oldsmobile gathering. He was truly one of the nicest and most incredibly knowledgeable Oldsmobile enthusiasts out there.
We spoke for a long time about his family dealership and all the incredible Oldsmobiles' that passed through their historic doors. He talked about his extensive Oldsmobile collection. He also spoke at length about his relationship with Olds engineer Dale Smith. He said Dale would provide him with any of his requests through Oldsmobile’s extensive back-door racing program. He said Dale would on occasion bring him to Olds experimental engineering in Lansing to see many of the Olds high performance projects he was working on including very exotic racing engines, transmissions, rear ends etc… of every design and configuration imaginable. He said Dale would supply his racing teams with serous hardware to always help make them competitive.
It is very sad news that Mr. Berejik passed away. He will be sorely missed by the Olds community. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
