A good friend of mine spent his whole life as a hot rodder and street racer in SoCal. he spent every thursday at the track helping the younger guys go faster with thier old steel street rods, hell of a guy. last year he was making a pass in his mustang and had a heart attack at about half track and passed away, it ended up being his fastest run ever. he was 67 years old. His friends had him creamated and the ashes were packed in the chute of a top fuel dragster. the dragster made a pass at the 1/4 mile in Pomona on his Bday this year and when the chute popped at the finish line his ashes were spread on the track. :D

Good article, thanks for sharing it.
