...we have recieved word that Carl "Holeshot" Schodde, who dominated doorslammer racing in the Pittsburgh / Ohio area with his "Steel City Wedge" maxie Plymouths, has passed after a long illness.

I know this leaves a big hole in northeast racing, he was extremely well thought of as an extremely tough racer, and even more importantly a terrific guy, good husband and father. His son, Carl Jr., is also one of the more outstanding people that one will ever meet. Please know that our prayers are with Carl Jr, his mom, and all involved at this hard time. I know that many of us who have suffered loss realize what a tough, hard time this is.

God Bless.
