A Tribute to a St. Loius Drag Racer
« on: May 15, 2010 - 10:48:07 AM »
Chris Mitchell is a man that I did a 904 for his "Cuda Race Car. On April 24, 2010 Chris lost his battle with cancer. I got to know him thru one of his best friends Ken Clinton who I have done his Dart race car transmission for many years. Ken is the one driving the car at the end of the video and I know that it was an honor for him to do so.
Chris was a religious man,a kind man and he was the kind of racer that if he was going to race you in the next round and you were in the pits with a problem,HE was there helping you get ready for that race. As you can see in the video that alot of people liked him and called him friend.
