Art "The Colonel" Malone

I'm sorry to report that my friend and a friend to many, Art Malone, passed away near 7 am this morning (Friday, March 29, 2013.).

Art has been dealing with heart issues for some time. No other information is available
at this time. Condolences to his family.

My experience with Art is that he was pretty much a "no nonsense" guy. He had a lot of history. I think he was the first to average 180 MPH lap at Daytona. He competed in the Indy 500 and I'm pretty sure he was the first, and perhaps the only, man to blow up his garage with a top fuel car.
