Dale Armstrong passes
R.I.P. Dale. A true driver/tuner/innovator of the sport. From the nova "the canuck" to going 300 w/ Kenny Bernstein Dale did it all. Probably one of the best, if not the best, Pro/Comp racers ever. There is a very nice tribute column by Phil Burgess on the NHRA website - Dragster Insider.

Re: Dale Armstrong passes
Dale was a brilliant tuner, great driver and all-around good guy. Always had time for a quick chat when I saw him in Brainerd.

Re: Dale Armstrong passes
Many years ago, I wrote the newsletter for the 409 Chevy Club of America- a truly fun experience.Dale Armstrong had a black 62 Bel Air bubbletop,red interior, 409 with quads, 4 speed, the whole thing. Very nice car. we had a photo shoot at Griffith Park one Sunday with Doug Marion from Super Chevy, a subsequent issue featured it. Dale came brought the Bel Air, and we had a great time. He was a truly nice guy. He had funny stories of being on tour, of racing fuelers, and what it was like to light off a fuel car in an industrial park shop. Really woke the neighbors. I saw him a few times at P
omona during various national events, no doubt about it Dale was one of the good guys. He will be missed. |
