    D!ck Landy has died
    « on: January 12, 2007 - 01:17:55 PM »
     Anyone who grew up in the musclecar era and followed MOPAR drag racing then knows the name D!ck Landy. He was a MOPAR icon equal to Ronnie Sox, who also recently passed. RIP, Dandy D!ck. :angelwings:

    Im sad to hear that he passed away. I met him and got his autograph a couple years ago at carlisle. He was a real down to earth guy and legitmately seemed happy when talking to his fans....
