Re: Art Arfons 81 Dies
I saw Art make quite a few passes over the years, way before he got into the tractors. Quite the showman.
Thanks for the memories Art.

Re: Art Arfons 81 Dies
One of the first guys to bolt a military surplus jet engine onto four wheels. I've got Kin Folks in Akron that live not far away from Art and have told me of his antics and engineering skills.
A true craftsman way ahead of his time. His Green Monsters have etched the racing history books. R.I.P. Mr. Arfons.
