Dave "Mr Workman" Workman: RIP
I was informed today that Dave Workman, AKA "Mr Workman" passed away peacefully in Scottsdale,AZ from a bout with a very aggressive cancer. Dave was a young 83. Dave campaigned his "F" body Mustang in Stock Eliminator for many years.Several years back sold everything to spend his time with his lovely companion Terry.: Dave loved to get you into his camper to show you all of his car articles and pictures. Tuscon had a surprise birthday celebration years back for him. I kept Dave busy while the Announcer broadcast it was his BD, and for everyone to come to the tower to get cake. Dave said "Is that me." Good man,friend and racer. RIP

Re: Dave "Mr Workman" Workman: RIP
I didn't know Dave, but knew the name. I would always look for him in the qualifying lists from various events (it has been awhile). I have read the great stories that have been posted about him.
R.I.P. Dave. May his family and friends find comfort at this time.

I enjoyed talking to him in the staging lanes at Firebird, and Las Vegas. He was a great story teller, and he really know how to race and enjoy it. Chuck, I know you just lost a very close friend.
Rest in piece Dave. Raul Vargas |

Raced with Dave in the old AHRA days, Beeline, Phoenix Dragway (Speedworld) and Tucson. Had a Maverick at one time. Great character for sure.
