Very sad to learn of this....although I did not know him...I saw him run many times over the years...First time was at Indy...mid '70's...running that "green" car that was
mentioned earlier...he was in SS/F...

Later...I saw the SS/O car and noticed that he ran those classic Motor Wheels from time to time...In the Fall of 1998, I went to Trails for that big NHRA nostalgia event and
he was there...NOT sure if he had the blue hardtop along...but did notice he had a very
clean maroon '66 post car sporting the Motor Wheel "Spyders" for a nostalgic flair..not
sure if he was just showing it or running it...it was a "beaut" as were all his cars...might
have been the "green" car repainted...

We had a nice chat...and he showed me the photos from past years in his trailer...Hanging up was his racing jacket from the Motor Wheel racing team of the '70's...he was real proud of that...I asked the usual questions about running a "big"
car in SS..you know...parts breakage, etc...and he was more than happy to go over that...with a sense of humor...seemed like a real upbeat guy...

Last time I saw him run was about a dozen years or so ago...either at the Summers...or the Dutch...BTW...I had no idea of his Ham radio hobby...if I did''I would have had a "ragchew" at the trailer...I dabbled in that stuff briefly...as a teenager...

RIP Rich....glad I had the chance to say "hello!" Thoughts and prayers to his family.....

Hi Friends, The Family of Rich Feldman sincerely send their THANK YOU!

So many of you have called, emailed, texted, donated to your charities, attended the service and especially posted on this site such kind words of Rich's character and integrity that brought many a tear to the Family and myself...........He will be missed by many and will remain in our memories as we spend each day and especially at each race we attend.

THANK YOU!!!

SS Wannabee, Yes that Maroon 66 Biscayne was the original 427 Biscayne raced in D/S & SS/F that was purchased used in 1968 when it was rally green. He saved the original engine and trans and reinstalled a few years back as he also ran that car with a small block in later years with a small block in SS/R. The car still sits as you saw it along with others. The Motorwheel connection began in the day, first with the "Spyders" then the "Flys", as he was a member of the Motorwheel Race Team in the day. When the roll bar/cage requirements changed he purchased the used Impala. He currently was ready to race again this year. His HAM radio system was his pride as he was ALWAYS on the radio mobile or at home. Thanks for asking!
