It's been a year since we lost Monte

Way to much knowledge lost way to soon.

Race in Piece

Miss his posts.

I agree. RIP Monte.

Hard to believe it's been a year. Damn.

He was way too young.

I miss his posts, and seeing him at Drag Week. Monte always took the time to answer my dumb questions, and gave sound advice.

RIP. Monte was one of the good ones.

Gone way too soon.

I never knew him but a lot of people on here did. It is good to see the Street Outlaw boys still representing his name on the windows with his decals....

RIP buddy!

"billet or zip ties it will work the same"

That was his answer when I asked him who make the nicest solenoid brackets for the 4150 base.

Hey, zip ties are the lightest option, right?

I never met him but, I have read him and thats a blessing.

May his memory be eternal.

Great guy, really miss him around here.

One year already, damn...

Sure miss his insight on a lot of subjects.

IIRC, he had one child, a daughter, w/ his ex-wife. I don't recall what other family he had left. It was definitely a loss of vast experience & knowledge when he passed.

Anyone know if there was an estate sale for all his "toys" & projects? For example, where'd his legendary GTX end up? That thought occurred to me when I saw this post about it being a year already.

Miss him too. Huge loss to Moparts.

Never had the honor of meeting,but we spoke on the phone many times.Great knowledge and guy.Race In Peace Monte.

REST IN PIECE MONTE

Hate I never got the chance to meet him. Saw his GTX in person at Rockingham way back at the NMCA Powerfest in 2000 I think. VERY nice car. Really miss bouncing ideas off him and hearing a no BS response.

Big Loss to racing and Mopars ..

He gave me a lot of solid advice

When I bought my heads up car Monte was the first person I contacted about a nitrous system. I told him I did my own engine and head work and he said that would never work. He suggested I send my shortblock to this guy and my heads to this guy and again I told him I’m a budget racer that enjoys doing his own work. After a couple more messages back and forth I decided to go a different route. In hindsight I made the right decision but I still have his messages saved. He was a very smart man that didn’t have to talk over your head to prove he was smart. I could never understand how he left his car sit for all those years and never brought it back out.

The GTX never came back out, because it was being completely redone. Monte spent a lot of time taking care of his parents, his daughter, and time just wasn't on his side to get the car back out. Add in a heart attack, and quadruple bypass... Life just gets in the way sometimes.

The GTX was supposed to go the Chris Terry to be finished about the time of Monte's passing.

There is a utube post by Monza of street outlaws. He is going turbo. Monte was his go to guy to make HP and have a competitive car. That's a tribute to Monte.
