SCORE International’s Sal Fish reflects on the life
Of SCORE desert racing pioneer Corky McMillin

LOS ANGELES, CA (September 22, 2005) -- With the news of the death today of Corky McMillin, prominent San Diego businessman and one of the pioneers of SCORE desert racing as well as the family patriarch of McMillin Racing--the first three-generation race team in SCORE history, Sal Fish, SCORE President and CEO, reflected on the passing of his dear friend.

“Corky McMillin was a man among men and truly from the mold of the league of extraordinary gentlemen and it is a tragic loss to truly thousands of people who have been touched by this great man’s life,” said Fish, who has led SCORE International desert racing since 1974. “At 76, not only was Corky the oldest regular in the SCORE Desert Series, but his long and generous life was an inspiration to all of us. As courageous a fighter as he was and as fierce a competitor, he will be remembered best of all for his generosity and the legacy of McMillin Racing he has left for all of us to enjoy. His son’s Mark and Scott are reflections of their father and his grandchildren are following in the same tracks left by their ‘Grandpa’. Corky was a role model for us all and he truly was a remarkable pillar from the world’s ‘greatest generation’. To say that we will all miss him is a gross understatement.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the McMillin family and McMillin Racing during this most difficult time.”
