Richard Doane

[bossanova]

Richard will be greatly missed in drag racing as well as in the Dayton business community. He was always professional & the best in his field.

I remember Richard & my father being close friends. I think a decade or longer of them going out to lunches & dinners. The friendship carried over to me as well. I always looked up to him & admired his attention to detail (he always had the most pristine stuff!). He would spend time in the off season tinkering with his trailers, race car, truck, etc...always improving things.

I consider it a real honor to have had Richard affect me positively in my life. Thanks for the memories.

Man could that guy cut a light & run the number, even into his mid seventies!
