A collection of area auto racers were behind the wheels of their cars Friday along Main Street in LaHarpe to escort the funeral procession of LaHarpe’s Ed Stokes, who died July 23.

Stokes, owner of B&E  Repair, was an avid racing fan and could often be spotted in the stands at local races each weekend.
