Dateline 04/12/2018 Russell C. Evans passed away earlier this week at the age of 74. This was due to cardiac complications brought on by diabetes.
Russ leaves behind his wife Marcia, son Alex, and daughter Bess.
Folks from the former Northern Illinois Shelby club will remember him as a board member, Carroll Shelby fan, anything Ford powered fan, and a enthusiast of fast cars.
Russ had owned a LaSalle, a 62 406 Galaxie, a 69 Mach I, but will be best remembered by his Competition Orange 69 GT 500. Could he make the GT 500 scream around the Elkhart Lake Wisconsin road course during the Northwoods Wisconsin Shelby club events.
Russ was also an expert model car builder and slot car racer.
Godspeed my friend!
