Sad Day in Mudville

"Dyno" Don Nickelson was one hell of a racer.

Probably in the wrong place,move if necessary.

Re: Sad Day in Mudville

Nope, this is the right place.

Re: Sad Day in Mudville

Well that sucks.

Dyno Don taught a lot of really talented engine builders, Jon Kaase is one of them. The man is gone but his legacy lives on in guys like Kaase, and Pro Stock racing... Imagine how boring NHRA would be without PS?

Might as well add:

"Nitro is for guys who can't make HP with mother nature." to my quotes.
