Sad new regarding Kenny Sorensen
I have some very sad news everyone. Kenny Sorensen passed away this past Friday, May 3rd. I am not sure of the cause of death but I know he died in his home in Prince Frederick, Maryland. I am assuming it was heart related but I am not sure of that. I am shocked by this sudden and tragic news. For those of us racing with him just last weekend in Dover at theSCCA Solo National Tour there, it is particularly surprising since it was just last weekend and he was happy, healthy, and ready to race. I talked with him about co-driving with me at the DC Pro and such.
For those of you that did not know Kenny, he was a regular competitor in the DC area autocross scene. He could also be found at quite a few National events, often driving his ESP Camaro or more recently, driving Alan Posner's Boxter. He was national champion, a fierce competitor, and a true friend. He could usually be found quite easily since he usually had something very, very bright orange on. And he always had an even brighter smile. He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Elizabeth, as well as a son and two grandchildren.
During the event in Dover last weekend, Kenny's co-driver Alan had a bit of a health scare due, I believe, to high blood pressure so it is ironic that he and I spent a good bit of time there talking about our health and that we are not getting any younger. He had some heart trouble in the past so we talked about how he was riding his bike almost daily, eating better, taking his meds, etc. I talked about how I had struggled with smoking for a very long time but have finally kicked the habit.
It is terrible news but I thought everyone here should know. Rest in Peace Kenny! You will be missed!
