Default Re: Long time friend and racer passes - Richard Johnson

Looks like Jan 24th will be a get together for Richard at the Burbank Elks lodge.

He did everthing from Toyota road race cars to Pro Stock AMC cars for North Holliwood Rambler (Jeff Lee would know about that). What an invovator. I remember him building a manifold for a 3 cylinder Triumph motor cycle and putting a 2 br Holley on it. Ran like crap but he did it just becasue he could.

RIP Richard Johnson. Road King charter member. Street rod wizard for the stars. Drag race expert for low budget champions. He felt all technology improvements were bullcrap.

Like a father to me, my brother, my friend, you will be missed.
