Dave Wren RIP

Very sorry to see this. I haven't seen him since three years ago. (because of the border)
I always enjoyed chatting with Dave. I never did get to go to his place near Lynden, heard all about it though. Dave started drag racing in the mid 50's in Montana.... in a Mopar of course. He had some great stories about some of these old wild west dragstrips that were "gas only" because of the skimpy shutdown areas and there he was in a 130mph drum brake MaxWedge and ran off the strip into the sagebrush each pass.

His daily driver was something like a 1950 Plymouth. All his tow vehicles were Dodge trucks and assortment of trailers, some which could have used a serious washing.

That guy was both a hero and a friend.
