Pentti Airikkala

Pentti Airikkala 1945 - 2009

I was fortunate to meet Pentti and learn a few valuable lessons from one of the original "Flying Finns". Always friendly, helpful and humorous Pentti was a true gentleman and a rallying expert. Not only did he know how to drive exceptionally fast he also knew how to set a car up to drive exceptionally fast! He views on the Metro 6R4 never cease to make me laugh.
Everytime I write a pacenote I'll think of him, he'll be greatly missed.
RIP Pentti.
