I was just checking my Facebook page and it sounds like both Ron Colson and Doug Thorley have passed away.
Doug Thorley was reported here a few days ago: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/another-great-one-gone-r-i-p-doug-thorley.1223914/
Ron Colson ran a cool ‘40? Studebaker coupe in Gas class, he drove both small and big block Chevy FED’s and a slew of funny cars including the Chi-Town Hustler and Hawaiian. If that wasn’t enough of a resume he went on to book races, was a track consultant to many and a great story teller too. Godspeed Ron.
