Neal, Thanks! I was just curious. I used to hang around the garage when I was a kid learned to adjust valves from him and loved to hear him fire up the Camaro. Ended up buying heads and some parts when I got older and he helped me. Always admired him. I would love to see some pictures. Sean |

Neal,
It was the one over by Crescent park school. I remember it was in the back alley of the house. I remember you and your dad to. Sean |

Re: Ron Derochie Sioux city, Ia
The last time I talked with Ron, he was really excited about getting the car back out. Ron was a hard core racer and his Camaro was fast. He and brother Neal were two of the real 'good guys' back then. I suspect that hasn't changed! -Al

Sean, dad is 86 yrs old and if I told him we were racing tomorrow he would be the first one in the truck, once it's in your blood it never leaves you.

Re: Ron Derochie Sioux city, Ia
I was around 7-8 when I started going over there all they way up till I was a teenager. I would get to my grandparents and ride my bike there just hoping Ron was working on the car. It was red the last time I seen it. I always wanted to go to the race track with him but was to afraid to ask lol. I learned so many things from him he was being a teacher probably never knew it. Which carried over into my street racing and pro modified stuff! |
