Sitting here stunned...and sniveling like a baby..

I am thankful for the all times I was able to meet Ronnie over the years(most recently at York) but wish he could of gotten that one last ride.... He surely deserved it.

All of us will never be able to thank him enough for what he has contributed to the sport of drag racing.

I will never forget when he let a snot nosed kid (me) sit in his 68 Cuda at Englishtown, and when he was under his pro mod Comet at Norwalk sledge hammering his bent suspension for almost a hour and then winning the event.


Thanks for all the great memories Ronnie...

Sad news indeed.

I emailed him a while back just
to say I was thinking of him and told him
I had just completed my first ever trip down
the quarter mile. Here is the response I got:

"Thank you for taking time to send Ronnie get well wishes.
I printed this email down for him to read and he enjoyed
hearing that you took a trip down the quarter mile and was thrilled
and ready to go again.

Ronnie says now you know, there’s nothing like it…

Thanks again for thinking of him.

Diane Sox"

Being born in 72 I was too young to remember him in his hayday.I did meet him a few times and he was the nicest guy you could meet.He autographed a picture for me and talked to us for a while.Im feeling pretty down due to this news,but worst yet Ronnie was my dads all time favorite.When Ronnies address was posted here my dad wrote him and sent him a christmas card.Ronnie responded back and sent my dad a christmas card.My dad was on cloud nine for weeks because his hero Ronnie wrote him.Last night I had to be the one to tell my dad Ronnie passed

BIG, BIG loss. Very sad news in our deteriorating world. RIP Ronnie - I hope you had a chance to read my letter - you were an icon.

My deepest condolences to all his family & relatives.

May Ronnie rest in peace.
He was a hero and an inspiration to me in my short drag racing career.
I will never forget his greatness and his impact on the sport.

A truly sad day for racing and Mopar fans, another legend gone to soon! Can you imagine the bench racing going on in Heaven between Ronnie, Dyno Don, Lee Shepard and Don Carlton?
