As a young person hanging around Columbus, Ohio in the late 60s-early 70s, I saw Ray at national Trails a lot, with the different cars he had-he was a local legend and was always nice to my brother and I in the pits. RIP Ray, another part of my misspent youth gone to the great beyond.

In the late 50s and early 60s if you had a Mopar and wanted to win drag races, Ray Christian was one of the "go to" guys. He made it happen for many racers, RIP.

I can remember him at Kil-Kare almost every sat. nite in 65 with his HEMI cars. He flat towed with a 60-61 Chrysler with a 2-4bbl. engine that also ran very good. He made a big impression on me along with his friend Len Silvers.RIP
