Anyone know any Mopar loving Hamby's

[Hambone12]

Hey all, I'm new here and looking to get my first A body in the next few weeks. My Grandpa was Ron Hamby out of Wilkes County and he was a very accomplished slant 6 racer. I was wondering if anyone on here knew him, raced him, or maybe had any pictures of him or his cars. He drove a yellow 66 dart /6 drag car and had a few other slant 6 cars he played around with also.

@Hyper_pak may have some knowledge of him.

We have a large Dealership about 50 or so miles south in Perry run by a Hamby family. Hamby Automotive Network.

Great man, and racer. Gone far to soon.
I raced him at Petersburg VA quite a few years ago.

I raced with/against Ron many times in the slant six series. Super nice guy. I don't remember, but we might have met at his funeral service.
