Too bad. R.I.P. Joe.

Re: RIP Joe Mondello
 

Met him years ago at Mission Raceway with Lyn Welfringer.

He was a really cool guy. Sat and had a beer with him. Very social and seemed to be an all around good guy. Super smart! The loss of another Legend.:(

R.I.P.

I had the honor of meeting him and listening to his seminar at the Olds Convention last year in Sturbridge, MA. He was a talented and gifted guy who learned most of his knowledge from the school of hard knocks. RIP.

Re: RIP Joe Mondello
 

Met him many years ago in the stands at the old Fallnationals in Seattle. A bunch of us were playing the "guess the ET game" during TF qualifying when this gentleman comes up and asks if this seat is taken,,,I say "It is now",, but I'm thinking this guy sure looks familiar. Anyhow, after all the pros were done, the man gets up and says he had fun sitting with us and has to go and asks our names. I said, "I'm Dan and this is my buddy Dave,,and you are?" He reaches in his pocket,,then extends his hand and says "I'm Joe, nice meeting you guys." As I shake his hand, he slips me a Mondello Heads button, which I still have to this day. Of course, I did the old "Hey do you know who that was?' to all the guys around us. What a great guy,,,,R.I.P. Joe,,,, my condolences to his family.

Re: RIP Joe Mondello
 

Had lunch and talked about the old days with him and a few others at PRI a couple years back, neat guy. RIP

Re: RIP Joe Mondello
 

I had the opportunity to hear Mr. Mondello speak at a Super Flow conference. He was very interesting and knowledgable. Some of the recommendations he made we still use today in our business .

He will be missed.

Joe used to be THE Dude in Modified Eliminator cylinder heads.

Re: RIP Joe Mondello
 

You Can put that in the bank!
My condolences to his family.

Re: RIP Joe Mondello
 

I met Joe many years ago, and several times since at the Byron BOP races, a wonderful guy, and very helpful with MY Oldsmobile whenever I asked him a question... One of Drag Racing's Legends and founding icons. He will be sorely missed, personally by me and certainly by the Sport itself. R.I.P. Joe.....
