Jon always had a smile on when racing, no matter if he was broke or on track and thats what I will always remember. Our thoughts and sympathy goes out to his family. The stock and super stock family has lost one heck of a man. Tom & Karen Meyer

Jon was as nicest man you could ever meet. Terrible, terrible deal!

I have testified against hands free devices for cell phones in the past, since I am in the communications business. I will gaurantee you when the next committee hearing involving the State of South Dakota legislature is held on banning texting while driving and a bill requiring hands free devices be used, I WILL be testfying in FAVOR of the bills. Enough of this nonsense of driving and fiddling with your cell phone.

The driver of the vehicle that caused the accident admitted he was distracted by his cell phone! Rest in peace, Jon.

I never knew him but I knew of him. My condolences to the family and something needs to be done about these drivers using cell phones and texting. I ride a Harley and I have to dodge the cell phone users AND the old old OLD people who should not be driving here in Florida. Its always sad to hear of losing a racer. We are all family !

Jon's wife called me this afternoon with the terrible news. i was in shock! i'm still shaken up. I've never met Jon face to face. We actually met thru this forum more that 5 years ago when he responded to an ad. for used Jerico gears. we've been trading parts and info ever since. not a month goes by where we didn't talk several times. i had been bugging him for a picture of his car to hang on my wall in the garage. i just recieved it about a month ago. it's a great bumper draggin' pic that hangs proudly on the "Wall of Fame". Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Christensen family. Jon you will be missed!
