Friends of Tommy Morrow, long-time BCRA midget driver, Official and past BCRA Business Manager will be saddened at  his passing away several weeks ago. In recent years Tommy resided at the California Veterans Home in Yountville and played a lot of golf. He made it a point to attend any and all of the races at Calistoga he could. Tommy began his racing career in the Track Roadster era during the early 1950's. After discharge from the Army in '53 he became a stand-out midget  competitor with Bay Cities Racing Association. After his active driving career, he officiated for N.A.R.C. and later still with B.C.R.A. He took over the office of Business Manager from Jack London in 1979 due to London's ill health. Tommy retired from that position in 1993. He is survived by his brother, Bobby Morrow of Santa Cruz. A memorial service will be held at the Veterans Home in Yountville on Thursday, Dec. 15th at 10:00 AM.  Rest in peace Friend.......Tom Motter--------------------------------------------------------
