George was a hometown hero, being born and living in Dayton, OH. His shop was like stepping into a time machine set to 1963. He always came off as a little grumpy to the young guys like me as we were growing up. But in the last 15 years or so he really mellowed out and enjoyed talking about drag racing with anyone willing to listen. He was a force to be reckoned with on the drag strip. Arnie Beswick has many stories of races and run-ins with Ohio George. Another major player in early drag racing history has left us. RIP George Montgomery, "King of the Gassers".
