Former Raceway 5 Street Stock champion Kevin Doktor passes
« on: September 16, 2013, 11:48:05 PM »
He passed away yesterday after an accident at home.
I believe that he won the 1985 Genesee Street Stock title with his #25. My thoughts are with the family and friends of Kevin.

Kevin kept my trucks going, he was a great guy that wasn't driven by  money,he was more interested in his kids.
RIP YOU WILL BE MISSED !

Kevin was the 1986 Perry Street Stock champion after finishing 3rd in points in 1985.
Russ Lyons #711 won both the Genesee Pure Stock (name changed to Street Stocks in 1988) and Perry Street Stock titles in 1985.

I'm going strictly on memory here, but I believe Kevin won the Genesee Pure Stock title in '84.  In any case, thoughts are with his family.

I looked at the Genesee track champions list today, but he wasn't on it. I don't have it in front of me now, and I can't remember offhand who won the 1984 Pure Stock title.

You're right on, Mark.  Though actually, I wasn't too far off with my ol' grey matter - Doug was Kevin's teammate and drove the same #25 car that Kevin drove.
