Legend .. Sharing this again for the new owner of the 1941 Willys Coupe … Warren Bryan , 6th owner ( Speedy was 2nd owner )
The Grandfather of Drag Racing and Legendary “Speedy Ball” Passes Away
Tony Ball said “On behalf of Mitchell and Darlene Ball and the Ball family…… the legendary Speedy Ball passed away early this morning. “
“He was the last of my Dad’s eight brothers and sisters. He will always be remembered for his big personality, detailed story telling, love of RC colas, and of course his long drag racing career. “
“I could post hundreds of pictures of his racing days, but this picture probably covers it all. He was the the Grandfather of Drag Racing and my all time favorite Uncle .”
Please keep Mitchell, Darlene, and family in your prayers.
