Calvin Queahpama passes

I know this is a bit tardy, but I did not know Cal had passed until I heard Bob Frey mention it during yesterday's Sportsman show from Seattle. Rest in peace old friend, now you and Conrad are together again.

I ran into Cal in 2007 or 2008 and he filled me in about Conrad. I went to high school with Conrad, and he was one of the influences that got me started into drag racing. Cal mentioned that he had quit racing regularly after Conrad died, but had come out to the track for a combo race and mostly to see old friends. I'm guessing that must have been one of his last races, I'm glad I got to spend some time hanging out with him.

Regards,
Michael Pliska
