Tony became a member of the Bonneville 200 MPH club in 1958. along with the late Phil Freudiger. I called Fogie this morning to verify Tony's passing. Fogie said tha following the holidays a celebration of life is planned. Details to follow.

  Thats a shock!  Tony always looked healthy. Looked just fine at Aug Bville.

  Tony was a real racer. First saw him race his blown fuel roadster in 1959 at the Smokers, Bakersfield drags going for top eliminator.
 A true racer and great guy, from the old drags, nostalgia winner, and engine in the DRM 385 mph lakerster.

                  RIP  JL222
