Kevin Polchan aka 'kp' passed this weekend. He was a bit of a legend in here, he had some very meticulous and strong running Procharger builds. As I recall he was the first F-body in the 8's with a D1.

 

Rip kp

 

Rip !!

 

I read a lot of his posts when I was running the F1C. Damn Shame. Carry on lost brother!

 

Kevin will be greatly missed, I was really shocked yesterday when I read he had died. If I recall correctly, he ran a 9.13 in the 1/4 with his '98 Trans-Am with a D-1SC. He was using an SDCE bracket at the time. Bob

 

Here's one article I found featuring his Trans Am,

He was too young at 58ish.

 

I edited my comment, I fat fingered it. He went 8.9 or 8.8 with one of the two cars he built.

RIP, he was a good guy. He was a Chicago native, and he joined our 4th gen scene and kinda blew everyone away. He had been racing and wrenching on SBC/BBC combos in the past going back to when he was in high school.

He later moved to Knoxville TN and had been there for I think 20 years. We talked but not often enough, I last talked to him in October.

Was a great guy.

 

Very sad to hear.... too young! I remember his D1SC build hauling the biz waaaaaay back in the day.

 

Dang that sucks. I remember KP as well. RIP.

 

WOW..RIP Kp, he definitely was too young. Legend indeed.

 

I hate seeing posts like this

 

R.I.P KP
I always enjoyed reading his post. He was very knowledgable.

 

That sucks. RIP. I definitely remember reading his posts back in the day.
