Title: Rick Byrnes
Post by: PorkPie on July 17, 2026, 07:07:29 AM
short to his 83 birthday,

Rick Byrnes passed away...

well known for his sports car, he drove the Ford (street) Hydrogen when they teamed up with the
Buckeye streamliner....

he donate his driver suit to the Bockscar team, so that the midget drivers of the team didn't disappear
in Stainless suit...I used Rick's suit in 2012...

unfortunately, he had some health issues over his final years...so he never could finish his
very interesting lakester project...a six wheeler...

Rick, you was a great friend all this years...

you will be not forgotten..god speed
