RIP Don...
The difference between an environmentalist and a developer is that a developer wants to build a house in the woods, an environmentalist already has one.

If you’re suggesting sending men with weapons of war to take my weapons of war,then I’m fairly certain that’s what’s called an act of war… and the definition of tyranny.which coincidentally is the reason for the second amendment to begin with!

I was never much into the NHRA stuff. Although I used to love drag racing my car...watching actual drag racing on TV was not something I was in to.
Other drag racers I've heard of; Kenny Bernstien, Bill Elliot, Shirley Muldowney (loved the movie), John Force, Don Purdohme. That's about it.
Football. Now there's a sport I could talk about all day.1968 Pro-Touring Camaro LS1

I remember talking to him at Rockingham Dragway in NC during the early days of "Fastest Street Car" racing. He and Rod Saboury were good friends back then and it was exciting to see them run in their respective classes. The main attraction at the time were the "Street" cars but the stands were just as full when "Dyno Don" pulled into the staging lanes. Everyone wanted to see him run. They even mentioned his name on Barret Jackson this past weekend when talking about the history of some of the race cars at the auction. A true racing legend that indeed will be missed.
