Rip al keen
WE just found out the other day that former die hard BBF FE Ford stick shift stock eliminator racer and father/partner of former NHRA stock world champion Don Keen passed away on Sunday in Las Vegas after a long battle with COPD.
I am very proud to to not only been able to call Al a friend and customer but actually got to drive his 68 428CJ championship car once in Vegas, back in 2003. Also that both Beth and Tony got to meet Al when he was still in better health. our sinceerest condolences to the Keen family. Alex Beth, and Tony Denysenko

Re: Rip al keen
Very sad.........Al was a great guy and a great racer. Super hard worker. I always saw him at the weekly dealer auto auctions around SoCal back in the 80"s and 90's. Always turning a few cars and then buying another. He always treated me well and likewise I had alot of respect for the man. RIP friend............
My thought are with Donnie and his family. |
