Calvin Queahpama passes

Rich Aceves · 07-19-2010, 02:01 PM

My memories of Cal were his quiet manner and his wit, he always wore a different hat at every race that we saw him at and there was always something political with a humorous twist and very right on point. Good man,he will be missed. Our sincere condolances to his family.

I knew Cal for many years as we both raced 283 cars way back in the 70's, in 1982 he purchased my 66 R/SA 283 wagon and raced it for years. I quit racing while I was raising my 4 daughters but regardless of how long we went between seeing each other he ALWAYS greeted me with that trade mark great big "warm" smile and a good solid hand shake. As has been said in every way possible; Cal was a good man and someone you would be proud to know, I was... He would do anything to help anyone! God Speed Cal... "You're the man"
