Not sure if this has been posted over here as of yet or not. Glenn was a great friend, and will be missed by many.
Glenn “Big Dog” Duensing died this morning (Monday, January 18, 2010). Many of us remember him from his generosity in the Solo aspect of SCCA. He had started in SCCA by attending a Pro Solo at Lion Country Safari in Irvine, CA. in the spring of 1985. I met him there as a fellow F Stock Camaro driver and then again shortly after in Las Vegas of that year at another Pro Solo. Glenn became my “Richard Childress” and I enjoyed success co-driving his blue 85 IROC Camaro then later his 91 Z28 Camaro:

The above picture is from the 1996 SCCA Solo II National Championship in Topeka, Kansas. We covered thousands of miles in his blue Camaros going to National events in California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and Kansas. I found on one trip to Wendover the the cruise control WILL resume at 125 (ish, not sure, maybe higher) on that lonely stretch in Nevada. :-) I won countless trophies in that car from Divisionals, National Tours, Pro Solo events (2nd overall in the Challenge too) and Nationals. He also helped out with the success of Belinda Endress and Lynn Rothney Kozlak by being their “Richard Childress” as well. I do not know all of the people he has assisted over the years but he has made his mark with many of us.
Glenn gave back to the club by taking on a number of National worker positions, from National Solo Safety Steward to Regional responsibilities to local Cal Club posts. He was always one to lend a hand or a bit of assurance to anyone. We will miss him.
