Sad to report the passing of Don Pennington (the Old Stripper) who wrote a great book on Bruce Geisler and the 219 car and was a well known Northwest Pin Stripper, Artist, Gearhead, and all around nice guy. He had also written a book on Doug Thorley of Doug's Headers fame, a book on the famous Slo Poks car club in Vancouver, Wa. and last but not least, did the art work for my OldStud Racing Tee Shirts.
Don also lettered many race cars including Bruce's Hanky Panky Studebaker and the Northwind Top Fuel Dragster that Ed McCullough drove.
R.I.P. Don, you deserve it. Say hello to all the Racer's in the sky. Bob Drury
