RIP Keath "HK" Newstrom
I am very sad to report the passing of Keath "HK" Newstrom from complications of a stroke he suffered last Saturday. HK raced a line of stockers in Division 5 under the "Starshine Racing" banner. He began his racing career in the mid 1960's at Minnesota Dragways and competed until a few years ago. He is a MDRA Hall of Fame inductee and had a passion for the promotion of drag racing for everyone's future. He is survived by his wife Kay. Funeral arrangements and time to follow. .
Updated information: Funeral services will be at 11:00 AM, Friday, March 22, at Prince of Peace LC, 7217 W Broadway Ave, Brooklyn Park, MN 55428. Visitation one hour prior to service. Burial at Fron Cemetery, Starbuck, MN later this spring. Last edited by Dyno; 03-17-2019 at 09:00 PM. |

My condolences go out to Keith's family. A committed Mopar racer and a Div 5 staple at most D5 meets.
RIP my friend. You will be missed..... Brian
