Re: David Rampy ?
Believe he had discussed the prospect before but whatever deal he got with Skillman must have been too good to turn down. He'll definitely go down as one of the greatest and that's not just based on his record. His dedication to his craft has always been inspiring. Remember him driving up to Chattanooga to run his Chevy 2 in the local bracket program and it was COLD that night, believe that was at least 30 years ago. The year he was the reigning Super Gas champ in the Monza he went out early at the Nationals and stopped by on the way home to run a bracket race at our local track in Knoxville. Soon as he got there he was under the car adjusting his four link and getting ready.
Amazing career, hope he comes out occasionally to show everyone how a Champ conducts himself.

Re: David Rampy ?
Not sure it really means anything, but I did notice that Rampys S/S Camaro had "For Sale" on the back window at the Finals in Pomona.

Re: David Rampy ?
In my humble opinion, the 3 greatest Sportsman racers of all time are David Rampy, Dan Fletcher, and Peter Biondo in no particular order.

Re: David Rampy ?
No disrespect to these three great racers, but don't forget the great Jeff Taylor.

Re: David Rampy ?
It wont be right not seeing him out there but I can imagine there are a few people that are very happy about it. They have a much better chance of winning with him sitting at home. He is definitely one of the best to strap in a drag car.
