What's a necrologist you ask? It's a guy who compiles lists of those who have died. In my case, I have created the most comprehensive list of drag race drivers who died while racing. I have researched over 300 drag race drivers who died while racing. See it at Drag Racer Deaths. I have also created a companion site for land speed racers. See it at Land Speed Racer Memorial. I'm hoping the Jalopy Journal community can help me make these sites as accurate and complete as possible. It's a small way to help those racers who died while racing be remembered.

welcome from alabama.. I have a friend from Georgia who is a race historian. He is gathering info on drivers who died while racing in Ga. It is already rather long.. Racing years ago was a very danger filled profession..
Welcome to the H.A.M.B. from Arkansas City, KS. Are you interested in the drivers that lost their lives on the Salt Flats, and Dry Lakes as well? firstnomad
I contacted a child hood friend whos father was listed. He was suprised to see it and of all your good hard work.. I also knew 2 others listed on your site.. Thank You for keeping the memories of these racing folks.. Bobby..
I definitely am interested in those who died on the salt and dry lakes. I have a website expressly devoted to them. Click on Land Speed Racer Memorial to see the 30 plus racers who've passed away while driving on salt or dry lakes.
I have been reading your list of Drag racing deaths and find a couple of mistakes...Dont know where you get confirmation on the facts stated...Very interesting reading anyway
