1937hd45 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 There must be some great Drag Races going on in Heaven, Gene Mooneyham left us last week, I can never see the number 554 and not think of him and that coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Wow, what sad news. Just last week I was going through some old slides taken at US131 dragway in Martin Michigan from the good old days - Dyno Don, Dick Landy, Arnie Beswick, etc. Legends! Im glad I had the opportunity to be there at that time. If I close my eyes, I can still smell the burning rubber. We rode to the track in GTOs and Nickey Cameros!Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John348 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I never knew that Dyno Don was known for racing Fords, I always knew him for his 409 Bel Air's. About 12 years ago he was running on the Super Chevy magazine circut with a recreation of his white 62 Chevy Bel Air.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He switch to Ford when GM pulled out of NHRA and NASCAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Didn't realize at first how old this thread is. RIP Don. Ronnie Sox also died in 2006. Edited July 13, 2017 by Guest (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
