Memories of Ron...
Ron and Melanie are part of our inner circle of Pontiac friends and he was always a strong competitor in any endeavor that he engaged in, work or play.
My favorite memory of Ron was at LACR a couple of years before it forever closed in 2007. Ron was locked in competition with another Pontiac Drag days racer going into the final race and won the division for the year by ONE point. So what, you think; the track operator Bernie then announced that he had a surplus "Wally" trophy and presented it to Ron for winning the B bracket for the season  . John Force has enuf of these to line the walls of his showroom, but how many of us bracket racers have one  .
Looks like Ron tree'd me one more time, even in passing  .
