The Don Blair Memoriam was held at the NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, California. I made the long drive out of respect for a great man and wouldn't have missed it. His last few years were very hard on him physically with extended hospital stays and a lot of pain. He had a good idea about how he would pass out his money after he was gone with a truust designed to put cash inthe racers pockets. Hopefully, that will start as soon as the legalities are handled.
