Default Horst Kroll passed

I read that Horst Kroll has passed away. He was a giant in the racing scene of the 60's 70s'. RIP.

I met him at the PCA event and he worked at the factory in Germany and took care of the family's personal cars. When he came to North America he raced against the factory cars and sometimes beat them. RIP.

I've been to his shop in Scarborough several times over the years. More older Audi's and VW's parked outside. Haven't been back there in atleast 6 years or so. He was friendly and loved to talk. Sad to hear RIP

I had the opportunity to work with Horst for quite a number of years back in the 60's, he was always the gentleman. RIP. Horst
