He was a man of many talents and over the years he had used his booming voice to serve as track announcer at such venues as Laguna Seca Raceway, Sears Point and the Sacramento Mile. Last but not least, he was an accomplished writer and over the years a regular contributor to many industry publications including City Bike and Cycle News. But perhaps his most lasting contribution to the sport came in the form of the helpful hand he offered to many of the talented young racers he saw coming up through the ranks of Northern California racing circles. The jovial and always upbeat Spencer, a giant of a man, was a well known and easily recognizable figure in the paddock and a trusted friend and mentor to many of today s top racers including Doug Chandler, Jim Filice, and Chris Carr. He will be sorely missed by his many friends in the sport, yours truly included.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
