I have learned our friend Tom Kullen passed away over this last weekend after his long fight with a rare form of throat cancer.
As you all know, Tom was the prime mover in the Utah British Bike Club, the main sponsor of the AHRMA races at Miller Motorsports park (in fact Tom's Bonneville Vintage Grand Prix event was the very first that Larry Miller booked when he opened his beautiful track), and was an avid Norton man who owned beautiful Commandos, including a stunning Commando racer, and a Norton Rotary F1. He was also an avid skier and instructor up in Park City, UT, where he lived. It was the AHRMA street race Tom put on in Park City many years ago, that I attended almost by accident, that got me hooked on racing. I owe him (or he owes me!).
We watched Tom fight this disease for years. He was very up front about it, and never rested. He gave it a good fight. He will be missed.
