Default Ted Lazarides RIP - LSRPCA instructor

Unfortunately, Ted passed away yesterday. He was my first instructor in June 02, I will sorely miss him, what a great person.

Ted was the instructor who promoted me from green to blue (Driver's Edge, not PCA). He was a great guy, a hot shoe, and I'll miss him terribly. I have fond memories riding with him on his low-line down the front straight at TWS.

He will be very missed by myself and many others.

So sorry to hear that. He was terrific in the classroom, in the car, and a good company. I really looked forward to his classroom instruction. My thoughts to his family.

Words escape me. I shed tears when I heard yesterday.

You could never say enough good things about Ted.

I am very sad to hear this, I had Ted as an Instructor also and would always visit with him at the track when I'd see him there. What a great guy. RIP.

The news took my breath away. Ted was a fantastic guy, and his passing leaves a hole in our community that can't be filled. My heart goes out to his family.

RIP Ted.

I can still see Ted showing us all what the flags meant at the Drivers' meeting, and that saying with the passing flag... What a fantastic guy. My thoughts are with his family. RIP.

Ted was such a great guy on and off the track. He was one of my instructors in the ITS program and always happy to help you. My heart goes out to the family.

I am stunned to hear the news. Ted put so much energy and passion into the DE program. He impacted so many people in such a positive way it will be hard to imagine events without him there. What a loss to our extended LSRPCA family. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I bought Ted's GT3 about 3 weeks ago and spent a lot of time with him the last few weeks. I was really looking forward to learning from him. I am in complete shock at this news. Great guy with a great family. He'll truly be missed.
