RIP Terry Phelps
Yesterday we celebrated the life of a dear friend Terry Phelps, Tony met Terry when he worked at BLP Racing Products and ended up working under him in the carb department. When he moved back to the machine shop he helped Tony learn all the ins and outs of running the carb department as the carb shop manager.
Terry was also instrumental in helping establish TMC Carburetors and without he’s help it simply wouldn’t of got of the ground, Terry would manufacture the products for TMC and together they would improve and develop new ones.
Terry raced back in the day in go carts and road racing, also working for Bo Laws Automotive in Orlando in the late 70’s though the mid 1980’s helping develop products like the alcohol carburetor and belt drive fuel pumps among other things, then moving on to open his own machine shop. Bo Laws would later purchase Terry machine shop bringing Terry back into the fold and into the BLP family.
Last year Terry took Davey Warren III under his wing and mentor him, passing on all his knowledge, in his words “I don’t want what I’ve learned to go to waste.”
We will continue with Terry’s legacy with Morspeed Manufacturing and we hope we make him proud.
