Loss of Member: Tom Anwyll

We are saddened to announce that long-time SCCA member Tom Anwyll passed away on October 10, 2024, at his home in Mineral, Virginia. Next to his family, SCCA and flagging events at Summit Point were the joy of his life for over 20 years. You could usually find Tom and his dogs camped out trackside at Summit Point. Most, if not all, of his genuine and closest friends, were fellow Summit Point MARSS flaggers, race officials, safety personnel, and drivers. Ill health kept him from the track later in life, but he remained connected with his SCCA friends and memories. 


In addition to a deep love for his family, he also leaves behind a legacy of introducing and nurturing a love of racing and motorsport to his children and grandchildren. He will be dearly missed but leaves behind many happy memories. 


A Memorial Service will be held at 4 pm on Monday, November 4, 2024, at Woodward Funeral Home in Louisa, Virginia. The family will receive friends for one hour before the service. If anyone has photos of Tom from over the years, the family would be very grateful if you could send them to tanwyll@gmail.com
