Ron is upper right in the picture (upper left is Les, Mr. Wheelspin). Picture was taken a few years ago while the group was at Pontiac Heaven and enjoying the hospitality of the Baumgardner's on Saturday night. Second pic is Ron's drag car being run at this years Pontiac Heaven. He couldn't race the car himself, but he found a driver and brought the car out anyway just to participate.
I was another one that raced with Ron starting back in the very early 90's along with Big Injun Dave, Ken Brewer, and a slew of other regulars. Ron was always kicked back and jovial - right up to last yellow lighting up. Then watch out because he usually snatched the win light away from you. For those of you that participated in the first POCI drag race that was held in SoCal, he was the one that took home all the marbles including King of the Hill.
