WOW !!!!!! I got the email from Bill this morning too. I first met Ron at LACR Los Angeles County Raceway in the early days of Pontiac Drag Days ( Early 90's). He was one of the guys that used to run the program. I raced with him there as well and would often see him and "Big Injun" Dave Anderson at the World Finals and Winternationals and we'd end up sitting together to watch the big guys race. I knew Ron had to give up racing recently but that's all I knew.
Now I feel really fortunate that I got to see him when I was out to SoCal last September for Route 66. A bunch of us got together at Flo's Cafe at the Chino Airport for some good ole biscuits n gravy. After breakfast Ron pulled up next to my 64 and gave me a care package that had a bunch of engine parts and front end trim. Just cuz. Pretty cool huh. I will truly miss your smilin face Mr. H.
