Don Grotheer is still alive and well (as far as I know). You have him confused with Irv Beringhaus who purchased Don's Pro Stock Pinto. Pete ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Irv Beringhaus Born: July 17, 1934 Died: January 26, 1974 Buried: Green Mountain Cemetery, Boulder, Colorado Age: 39 Full Name: Irvin Herbert Beringhaus Nickname: Drag Strip: Beeline Dragway, Arizona Event: AHRA Winternationals Accident Date: Car: Pro Stock 1973 Ford Pinto Biographical: He was driving a Pro Stock Pinto that had been built by Don Hardy in Texas with an engine built by Gapp & Roush. It was his first year campaigning a Ford after running Mopar in all his previous racing. During qualifying his car flipped six times at 152 MPH. He was a Denver land developer and had been racing in pro stock for at least five years. He first began drag racing with an Olds 442, but progressively advanced until getting into the pro ranks. He was survived by his wife and three children.
