I was just at the local car gathering at in-n-out.A new guy showed up in a 70 Challenger which he just finished.He pops the hood and there lies a Dick Landy built Hemi.Dick had a special Dick Landy badge that he put on the valve covers.Talk about here today gone tomorrow.
Landy went back to Super Stock racing and later went on to a storied Pro Stock career that he financed with a successful engine-building business.
he was known as Dandy Dick Landy.
I had the pleasure of meeting both men years ago. Dick I met at Englishtown back in 2000. This is a picture of Dick's infamous `64 altered wheelbase car photographed at the Garlits Museum in 2003.
And this photo was taken at Carlisle in 2001 where I met Ronnie and his wife Diane.
Sure sorry to here of this. He sure will be missed. I never had the pleasure of meeting him or even getting to watch him race but as a Mopar fan I sure enjoyed reading about him alot.
