Your probably thinking of Larry Swiatek. He raced some very cool Pontiacs.

Don was/is a diehard Chevy guy. He favored circle tracks and drag racing.

I'm sorry. That's right though, it was Larry Swiatek. Both from Chicago though, right? There's gotta be a relation there. What were they to each other, if anything?

Thanks Andy for posting the link to Rich's tribute. You either loved him or hated him, but the man could build a machine that would fly and he will be missed dearly.
