I would like to dedicate this thread to the memory of Dave Johnson, he passed away this morning.

A fine man and a truly dedicated Pontiac racer who clearly went to great trouble and expense to produce this intake that is my new favorite toy.

I originally thought that this rare intake (one of 22 that Dave reproduced in order to make his 'White Warrior' more competitive in his racing class) would make a cool addition to my old GTO, so I bought it even though it was pretty expensive.

Now it holds even more meaning for me, even though I've never met Dave he treated me with respect here on the board in our conversations and that means a lot. This carefully sculpted aluminum casting will always be more than just a super-neat part to me, only someone who was truly dedicated to the Pontiac hobby could have made something like this happen and I'll think of Dave every time I look at it or turn the key to fire it up.

Looking back on his racing endeavors it's clear to me that it would be hard to find a more hard-working and hard-core Pontiac racer and enthusiast than Dave Johnson.

Rest In Peace Dave, you are already missed.
