I have never met Chris, but when the racing community loses a class act such as Chris, it affects everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with Chris, his family and his friends and fellow racers.
My two cents, if you all have a trophy awarded to the racer who is most improved, dedicated or season champion, you can label it the Chris Avison Memorial Cup.
Again, my condolances to all who lost a dear friend, and family who lost a brother, nephew, grandson and son.
