How's Wayne Dupuy doing?

Last I heard about Skuza was he had gone through some serious health issues but had recovered.
He also regretted the time he spent away from his family due to racing, and said he would never return
to racing. He was involved with selling high end and exotic cars and enjoying life.
 
Wayne seems pretty active on FB, not sure if he takes friend requests from non-friends, but I'm sure if you reached out with some well wishes he'd respond.

Skuza is on FB as well.
 
Jimbo was working for Terry Haddock not that long ago and he may still be with him.

Cy Chesterman still works with his Coca Cola bottling plants. His former crew chief, Dan Hutchmeir (sp) tunes Jirka Kaplan.
 
Steve Foster and Grace Howell. Didnt Les Davenport tune Cy for awhile?
Yes Les did work with Cy for a while. IIRC, Cy bought his first car from Stan Sipos who was tuned by Davenport. Les also worked with Jirka Kaplan for a while as well. I think Les was working with Lombardo/Jackson racing the last few years.
 
A few I'm curious about:

70's/80's Northwest funny car racer Mike Miller
Frankie Pedregon
Ex-alky FC racer Chris Christensen
Jimbo Ermalovich
Old Amato crewman and alky driver Bill Walsh

Chad are you just listing every racer that comes to mind? LOL Reason I say that, is many on your list are often still heard from/about regularly. Such as, Snake, Bernstein, Veney (tractor pulls), the Gwynns, and Roland Leong. But you did name a few I haven't heard anything about in awhile, like Toliver, Baca, Ormsby Jr., the Peeks (although I think they run a Top Dragster for someone in their family), and Rod Fuller. Mike Ashley is helping his son who is working towards TF eventually.
