I am saddened to here of Ed's passing. First met him and his car in the staging lanes at Atco open, it had a Hanoi Jane sticker on the back, which I liked, liked the car too. Ed was authentic, and feisty. He could flat out drive the Gremlin, won a Atco divisional with it, and went super deep at the MG national event back in 10 or 11........I recall seeing him locking it up at the stripe for a win.......shortly thereafter NHRA took away the class deal and the Gremlin was put up for sale, since I liked the car, thought it would be a good training car for the kids and wife I snagged it in 2012. The car has been that and soo much more. I am grateful for that, and getting to know Ed.
My condolences to the family, a big Wally won in Ed's memory would only be fitting.
