Myron Cottrell founder of TPIS passed away today

From Jim Hall:

Engine builder, EFI innovator, and founder of TPIS passed away this afternoon (12/29/2017) He was found this past Wednesday unresponsive in his home, and was taken to the hospital and put on life support with hopes of some level of recovery. After no improvements, he was taken off life support this afternoon.

His legacy and contributions he has made will live on through (us) at TPIS and in the many friends and racers whom he helped and enjoyed life with.

I know many of us met him back in 2014 during a club meeting/tour of TPIS in Chaska. He was quite the enthusiast, and will be missed by a lot of people across the country.

This is a pic I took of him tuning Chris S's car on the dyno that day.

He was a great innovator, and just a good guy. He was always willing to take time to chat, even if there was no prospect of a sale. __________________ Larry L. Coon Rapids
