This is very sad. We were lucky enough to have him at the dyno with us last time we dyno'd dad's engine a few years back.

I believe he was the man responsible for Dyno Don's 427 SOHC power in the Maverick he drove in the very early years of Pro Stock. An innovator for sure. condolences to his friends and family. God Speed
