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

Sean. I am out of town until this evening, I will see if I can get some picture to you, just curious which garage you used to come to as we had several that we worked out of over the years.

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

Cool story guys how old were you 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.

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!
