My father and I had, of course, many things in common. One of them was
our vocation — which, for both of us, became a true passion. My own profession developed
into a love for geography and tourism, while my father, although working in the automotive
industry, devoted his heart to veteran motorcycles of long‑gone times. This passion did not
fascinate him alone; he managed to inspire younger generations as well.
One of those who was “infected” by this veteran‑motorcycle enthusiasm is
Thomas Fritsch. Thanks to his dedication, and that of the members of the Motor Veteran Club
Zell am See, this gathering of the “Conquerors of the Großglockner” from earlier days has
become a reality.
The organizer, Thomas Fritsch, dedicated the first three Grossglockner
Trophies “In Memoriam Helmut Krackowizer”. These pages are my account of those three events.
I hope you will keep your days on the Großglockner in good memory. I am firmly convinced that
my father is watching this meeting with great joy “from a higher point of view”.
Yours, Peter Krackowizer — redesigned website, December 2012
