 RIP Gene Severino Gene Severino passed away yesterday after a 7 month battle with cancer. Gene headed up our tech for a number of years as well as working with other local and national series. He is survived by his wife, Linda, as well as by a daughter, two sons, and many grand kids. Gene will be missed by all that knew him.

Re: RIP Gene Severino Gene was one of my best friends. I have known him for the past 13 years. I also had the pleasure of working with him for the last 5+ years in tech at just about every track on the west coast. When my father died last year Gene helped me through a very rough time in my life. Love him or hated him everyone respected him. You will dearly be missed by me. Rest in peace buddy!

Re: RIP Gene Severino I'm still in shock, we have truly lost a great grandfather, dad, husband in Gene, as well as a freind. He was always fair, quiet and correct. I will miss him. Best wishes to his family. RIP Gene I'm sure there's someone up there with an illegal chaingard, get em!
Peace

Re: RIP Gene Severino RIP Gene. It was a pleasure learning the comer 80 rules from you. I had so many unintentional infractions and he warned me everytime. Never a DQ. Im sure theres a track up there where he will work at.

Re: RIP Gene Severino Unfortunately, I didn't get to know him as well as some of you guys; however, it was always a pleasure to run into him in tech area - he was always fun to chat! I will race on the 15th - in honor of Gene - and I will dedicate my victory to him. I wish much strenght to his family (and loved ones left behind) during this challenging time. My very best, Alex

Re: RIP Gene Severino It is a very unfortunate thing for us all to face mortality. It's just supposed to be something we do at a ripe old age and not in our prime. Gene was a solid guy that did his job very well with no B.S. I wish we could all have the pleasure of working with men of his caliber. We wish his family well.

Re: RIP Gene Severino I am very sorry to hear of this.
I offer my sincere condolences to Gene’s family.
Gene was a wonderful person to work with.
He was a consummate professional and contributed greatly to a sport we all love, Karting.
He will be missed.
