Bob Lundholm retires from drag racing

Bill Grubbs · 10-03-2012, 06:47 PM

After 41 years, my Dad, Bob Lundholm officially retired from drag racing last weekend when he sold his Nova; the one my Grandmother bought new off the showroom floor! Bill and I have learned a tremendous amount from him over the years.

My Dad was inducted into the New England Dragway Hall of Fame a few years ago.

Congratulations on a fun filled 41 years of drag racing!

Love, Brenda & Bill

I hope I'll get to see him sometime-it was good to get to know him at the ASRA races-he even liked that I referred to him as Brenda's dad.

Mixed emotions, I would guess, but congratulations. A good racer, person as well as a good teacher! Brenda is fortunate to have you as a dad. It was a pleasure meeting you.
