Two great men that contributed to the sport of drag racing and will be missed. I got to meet both through helping my brother with his SS/GT cars. I have heard both names mentioned many times over the years while at the races and not once was a negative comment mentioned. In this day and time this speaks volumes for both men. I rode up to Richards shop with my brother to leave the Old's Calais for some suspension work 15+ years ago. Richard was a great host then as well as every time you met him. Who didn't know Dave, Mr. Head's up. I got a kick out of the Layer Lane banner in the pits at Indy each year. I hope this race has a lot of cars and a good show of support for these men. They have been a part of drag racing for a long time. Don Jackson
