Speed hero he was! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Arfons PaPa Johns 77 Dec 4th, 07, 1:48 PM I was fortunate enought to have several great conversations with Art in the past.

RIP Art :beers: 69 Daytona Yellow 3 Speed Dec 4th, 07, 9:30 PM I live south of him in Canton. A few years back while driving around Akron, what look to be the Green Monster was parked along the shop. It looked like the outline of the Green Monster covered up with a tarp. Tony jpete Dec 4th, 07, 11:06 PM Geez, this is bad. Two real heroes in a short time. I hope the "always happens in threes" doesn't kick in here. :( BillsCamino Dec 5th, 07, 6:06 AM Art was 81 years young. RIP ! :sad: http://www.speedace.info/speedace_images/Art_Arfons_and_Green_Monster.jpg DUKE 69 Dec 5th, 07, 6:59 AM Back in the day, it was fun to see whether Craig Breedlove or Art was going to have the LSR for very long. Sure were some great "battles". Mechanical geniuses, to say the least! forcd ind Dec 5th, 07, 7:27 AM RIP art-back in the 60's, we used to travel to aquasco speedway in MD just to watch the green monster run, he would fire it up, bring it up th thrust, and when the headlight fliped on, he would cut it lose DZAUTO Dec 5th, 07, 7:41 AM Do ANY of you even remember the ORIGINAL Green Monster????? Powered by an Allison V12 aircraft engine! I have a picture somewhere that I took in the late 50s in Okla City. I'll see if I can find it, scan it, and post it. | ||
