We received word at the race in Ardmore that ron Dillenger suffered a stroke. It was early Sat. or Sunday morning, I am not sure which. We also received news that he suffered a Heart Attack this afternoon and things are not looking good for him. My prayers go out ti Him and Charlene that things will turn around and get him through these hard times.

Ron was good people. Mark Buchanan and I worked closely with him on the Mopars at the Motorplex race and the TMCCC races. He will be missed by a lot of people.

It is very sad, we've lost a good friend, not only to the Mopar Community, but to the Car Club Community as well. We were running the finals of Ron's Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge Series race at Ardmore Oklahoma yesterday about the same time that Ron passed away. Ron will be missed by all of us. Rest in peace our friend. To Charlene and the family, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ron will surely be missed by all those in TMCCC. In his memory maybe we can all race with his number this coming weekend. My prayers go out to him and his family.

Personally, I feel that Ron would not want the Championship handed to him by everyone running his number. I feel that we need to make one of the races in the Fall a Ron Dillinger Memorial Race and collect donations from all the racers. I guarantee that this would bring in more money than the Championship and honor Ron with his own race. I also agree with some award at the end of the year along with possibly a racer award each year in Rons name

Susan and I send our thoughts and prayers to Charlene and the family. I agree with Mike Bearce about a memorial race. Ron was an all out racer and wouldn't accept a gimme. We could put his number on our cars passenger side with a piece of black tape over it as a tribute.

A memorial race is an outstanding idea. Marsha and I send our thoughts and prayers to Charlene and the family. There is now a very large hole in the Mopar community.
