FAST Freddy Dannenfelzer
« on: September 11, 2023, 06:30:19 PM »
 Just got word that freddy pasts away today.

 Damn.. another legend.

  Freddy was always at the top of the game from racing dirt bikes in the desert, crewing on a top fueler or
 EL Mirage and Bonneville.

  Freddy built his cars and engines, tuned and drove them, rare these days

  Freddy has been racing since the mid 1950ths.

    R I P Fast freddy

a very sad news

Freddy was one of a kind....a legend...for sure....but more....going fast for him meant simple...having fun like a kid....I think...he never became old....

....and never ask him what a mild mix for the lakester is....93 percent.... :clap

I know that his lakester and streamliner is in good hands....boys....keep that racers in Freddy's name alive...it's his memory to us

Freddy, you was a friend for life....you will be never forgotten....R.I.P.

May he Rest in Peace.  My condolences to his  family.  Fred was one of the first to greet me when I'd arrive on the salt - when I was a newcomer and ever since.  Thanks, Fast Freddy.  I'll miss you.

I just read a posting from the Bonneville 200 MPH Club that Fast Freddie has left us. He was a great guy and friend?.

Freddy would always greet you with a big smile. Always offer to help you. One of the famed "Santa Barbara Boys".  Condolences to his family and friends. You will be missed by all.
