RIP Sherwood Allen

sterling simmons jr · 06-08-2023, 10:31 AM

The racing world lost a wonderful person last night, Sherwood Allen passed away peacefully at his home. Sherwood aka "The Soul Survivor" began racing on the streets of his hometown in Chester, PA and then on the legendary strips in the northeast. His driving allowed him to win Super Stock Eliminator at Cecil County, Atco, and Columbus. Sherwood's notable career earned him the honor of being named to the 2015 East Coast Drag Time Hall of Fame.

Please keep the Allen family in your prayers. No arrangement have been made at this time.

Back in the early 70's, Saturday night at Cecil Co. was like a National Event. More often than not, the final in SuperStock was Sherwood and his good friend Gil Davis, Sherwood SS/DA Gil SS/D, both '69 427 Camaros. What a show! Sherwood was a great guy & great racer. He will be sorely missed by all who ever had contact with him! Bill Taylor B/S 1005.
