I feel like i have lost a member of my family, well i have cuz our team is a family...
anyway we have to announce retirement after only 1 season that ANDY RAUCH will not return to competition next season.
ANDY did alot for our team presence this year and will be missed GREATLY!!!!! he did finish the season with the WORLD RECORD in street 3/4 this year and did have the highest score at finals in his class and finished 3rd at finals.
anyway I will miss him very much!!!!!! he is like my brother and to know i will rarely see him from now on really hurts......
anyway his dodge caravan is for sale i will post it in the for sale section for those who are interested.

Wow...that is very sad to see. Andy is one of those competitors that every gets along with, he is a true sportsman and one hell of a nice guy. Him, danny, and the whole autosound crew were very helpful to me this year, they extended and hand to help without me even asking...Andy rauche and the whole crew there are a true model of what a team and what true sportsmanship is all about...
Not going to be the same seeing you at shows next year andy, hopefully you'll be soon..

Sorry to hear that Andy will not be returning..he was truly a great competitor. I hope that maybe he'll still venture to shows every once in a while...although I can't even say I've been able to do that for a while. Best wishes to Andy and his family.
