    Re: RIP Dave Bettencourt



    I really didn't know Dave other than meeting him very briefly at the Bettencourts Auction in November. I do know that Eric and Jeff spoke very very highly of him and you couldn't be involved in New England racing without seeing the Bettencourt's name somewhere.

    RIP Dave

    RIP Dave.

    I can remember being a kid growing up in RI and knowing if you needed MX, Bettencourts was the place to go.

    Re: RIP Dave Bettencourt

    R.I.P.. I remember reading about them a long time ago in some connection or another with Kenny Roberts, Spencer, and Lawson.

    Some measure of greatness seems to run through the family..did he leave kids behind?

    Rest in peace, Dave.


    We hardly met, think I talked to him all of three times, but I could tell he was a great guy & loved the sport. Wish I coulda gotten to know him better.
