HONORING JOHN CAMACHO
(Mr. MOYLAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MOYLAN. Mr. Speaker, I take this time to recognize and honor the
late, great John Camacho, also known as Chubado, who sadly left this
world a few years ago. John left behind his lovely wife, Darleen, and
children, Janice and Jeremy.
A proud son of Guam, John received numerous accolades for academic
excellence during his time at Fresno State University where he obtained
a bachelor of science in civil engineering.
In 1978, he and his friend Henry Simpson were the brain children of
Smokin' Wheels, which consisted of off-road motorcycling, buggy, and
truck endurance.
In 1979, John participated in the Baja 1000, which remains one of the
most prestigious off-road obstacles in the world.
On behalf of the Nation and the island of Guam, and in these sacred
Halls of democracy, I honor and recognize John Camacho as a founding
father of motorsports on Guam and as a renaissance man for the sport in
the region.
