Sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing, I had no idea. We had some fierce super gas wars at Brainerd Optimist Dragstrip in the late seventies and eighties. Ronnie was one of the great ones.

You mentioned "the Hill". I guess you knew Johnny Labbous then. I saw him race at our track from 1972 through the eighties. I traveled to many races with him and have never seen anyone win more than he did. He was my inspiration to begin racing. I have lots of pics of his cars if anybody wants to see some.
