I am sorry to hear Randy passed.   I talked to him about Y-block on the phone several times a year and he always was excited about his next project and he got me even more excited about my own cars..   I tried to call last month when I was thinking of him, but never got the chance to talk to him.  Great guy, and I will miss him.

Everyone was shocked down here when I told them the news.All  of us has a story that we can relate to Randy. One of the best sayings I have ever heard, came from Randy. He loved to through this one at vegetarians " If God didn't want you to eat animals ,why did he make them out of meat ?????". Sure can't argue with that ,Rest in Peace .

I recall reading several years ago in Y-Block magazine, that Randy was the first  to exceed the all time Y-Block drag record of the late Bob St.Laurence out of Australia. The record had stood for at least 20 years. And if I recall, he did it in a Dragster chassis that would be best described as a skittish ride. Now, the're both gone, sorry to hear that..

Wow, sorry to hear this. He was so young. Will say prayers for him and the family.

Aww man, what a bummer. As Rob said his famous quote "I just want to go fast" in that Texas tone made me laugh every time I thought about it. He was always a great guy to be around and a made a point to visit Teds everytime I was in the area working down there and stopping at Teds myself. Showing me the Bullet sleeves he came up with if he ported into a pushrod area when porting heads.
Our thoughts and prayers for the family and I am sure the heavens will be thundering with the Y block sound as he arrives!
