We lost another Legend - Arlen Vanke Passed Away

[Endangered Species]

I got word tonight that Arlen Vanke passed away this morning. It's breaking my heart that we are losing our legends at such a fast pace.

Arlen was a staple at the Nostalgia Races before his stroke and we sure miss him. This picture was taken at Beaver Spring in 2009. It's sad to say that two of the four people in this picture have passed, My Mother and Arlen.

He is with God now

Not only was he a great guy, but was a great customer and actually loaned me parts from his cars for me to mold from. Race in peace, Arlen !
