Another old Ford racer gone.

A lot of the racers from the 50's and 60's are passing on. It seems like someone goes every couple of days. On Wednesday one of our Roanoke, Va racers from the 60's passed away. He was 78 and his name was Gene Tingler and he raced a supercharged 57 Ford called "Gone With the Wind". They say that he set the national record at the 1965 Bristol Springnationals in his stock class. RIP old time racers.
regards, Roland
