Default Re: Akron Arlen

Akron Arlen Vanke was a racer to contend with back in the match race days. After over 30+ years of not seeing him I have had the pleasure of picking him up at the airport in Raleigh and riding to Henderson, NC to the Drag Race Reunion for the past two years. We have talked about a lot of old races and a lot of old racers during those trips. Arlen, I understand has had some medical issues since I saw him in Henderson this year. I hope that he is doing better and will be able to be back next year.

^^^THIS^^^^

Yeah, that's the only reason I opened the thread. I knew he'd later moved away from Pontiac. But, being a Pontiac Freek, when I see his name I automatically think of the Pontiacs he drove back in the early to mid '60's.
