Racers wall

I suggest a ongoing tribute wall to all the great racers whom lost their life in our wonderful community of boating families ...

found this list, it does go beyond '79



In Memoriam
These are members of our drag boat racing family who are no longer with us. They contributed to drag boat racing (specifically fuelers) from 1960 to 1979. They are the drivers, owners, tuners, photographers, representives and manufactures who made it all happen.
