David Rampy is one of, if not the greatest Sportsman to ever race in NHRA. He has been a great role model to all racers on how to conduct yourself as a sportsman competitor. David always had a smile and greeted you whether you were a competitor, fellow racer or fan walking by. Growing up we were huge Pro Stock and Comp fans due to my dads influence and I was amazed at David's composure and discipline as a competitor in Comp. I have had the pleasure to know David as both a fan and competitor. He will be greatly missed by many in our sport and I hope an opportunity for him to show up to the track as a driver or crew member once in a while comes up. Some of the names mentioned on this post have been about guys with tons of success in the winners circle and/or pioneers of the sport; however few have had the overall impact that David had on many of us. I wish David and his family all the best in their future endeavors.
