Tony Christian Pro Mod /Super Street Racer
Tony Christian worked with the Keen Brothers to win a World Championship in Super Street (against Billy Glidden). Ford Mustang race car.
He later helped the Keens win another Championship in Pro Mod (Corvette race car) some years later. I was a member of the Keen Brothers Race team when they won in Super Street using a Vortech Supercharger System and Ford Engine/Chassis. Tony was very knowledgeable on how to win a race championship. RIP Tony. Tom V.

Just happened to run across the OBIT.
Date of passing is not important. What the man did in his lifetime is what is important. RIP Tony Tom V.

My favorite Tony Christian photo (below): In spite of his (put on) gruff demeanor he was a good guy and a lot of fun to be around. K

A buddy was having issues with his Corvette getting down the track straight. He bought a 57 Chevy from Tony. The deal was if it went down the track straight at GLD he'd buy it.... Of course it did and the car won many Championships in the years after. Tony was a great guy and knew how to make a race car work. RIP |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
