Re: We lost a WORLD CHAMPION
Tony, Didn't know your dad but surely knew about him. You and I have raced a few times and I've enjoyed your company at the track.
Very sorry to hear. Prayers and best wishes to you and your family. Dustin Lindsey 5164 A/SA |

Re: We lost a WORLD CHAMPION
Sorry to hear about Delmer passing. He and I fought it out in 1986 down to the last race at Pomona for the World Championship in 1986. We were sitting on the guardrail together as being part of the pre race ceremony while Don Garlits was speaking on stage. Delmer said to me, "that is one guy I would like to meet someday". When Garlits was done speaking and came off the stage, I yelled over to him and said "Don, come over here, there is someone I would like you to meet". Don came over in case he might know who I was (he didn't know me from Adam) and I introduced him to Delmer and Garlits shook Delmers hand. Delmer had such a big smile on his face and said he wasn't ever going to wash that hand again.
Thought I would share that story with you as your racing family out here really enjoyed Delmer. God Speed. |
