Godspeed Jeff Oakes

[Yaani-Mai Gaddy]

I was very sad to hear of Jeff Oakes passing. I know everyone at NTK will miss seeing him at the track. It seems he was always there for as long as I have been a member. NTK won't be the same without him.

[Bob Preston]

Wow, very sad news indeed. My condolences go out Jeff’s family. I agree, he will be missed.

[David Munden]

Jeff raced with Julie and I on the road race circuit some, he will be missed!

[John Denman]

I am deeply saddened by this news. I've known Jeff since I first came to race at NTK, originally a competitor in the brackets classes ten years ago.

Having taken a break from nearly karting since 2005, I visited the IKG RRGN, and spent about half an hour just kicking around with Jeff. Mostly Yamatalk and his view of the race he just finished.

A few weeks ago I dropped out to NTK, first time in 4 years. Hung out with Jeff a bit cheered him on when he was racing.

Very sad indeed. Godspeed Jeff, you'll be missed by many.

I'm missing my friend.
Driven faster,

This is terrible Jeff was(is..) such a great guy. Just really loved the sport and all the people in it- even those he didn't always see eye to eye with.
