Bummer, While around here known for drag racing he had his hand in all motorsports

This is sad news.

I highly recommend Ed's book he came out with a few years ago. It is very well done. I got an autographed copy at one of the Lion's Drag Strip Museum events right after the book came out.

94 years; he had a good run. What a list of accomplishments this old boy amassed over a 60+ year racing career.

Damn talented engineer, and a truly nice guy (my dad had a couple of his Hemis in the early 70s). Rest in peace

The Old Master

And he became the "Old Master" when he was only in his '30's.

May he rest in peace. Such an important part of racing history.

A lot of people here won't know who Ed Pink and Keith Black were. They built almost ALL the big show nitro engines back in the day. I'm not 80 or 90 but I remember and today I feel older. RIP Ed what a life. Here's some of his history......

They're all leaving us now. Over the last several years I've come to realize how much these reunions and revivals are so important. Friday Bob Lambeck passed away too. He would come by VHS from time-to-time if he need something we had.

RIP Mr. Pink.

We passed by his shop while heading to Moorpark on the Metrolink. Brought back great memories of the battle of the engine builders of the 60's and 70's.

In 1982 I was just a little kid helping Gary Beck who was driving for Larry Minor. When the car began to run really well they had an Ed Pink blower on the car. What stood out was instead of a alumium casing it was magnesium. Whenever Bernie Fedderly had it on the car along with a new Sid Waterman fuel pump the car flew. I was only 11 years old but I remember like it was yesterday. Rest in peace Ed Pink.
