RIP Raymond Beadle and pictures for reference

[sflam123]

Raymond Beadle, of Blue Max fame, passed away yesterday (really, Sunday evening, I guess). Hot Rod Magazine on line has a very nice tribute in pictures on their website. There are several good pictures of a couple of the Blue Max Funny Cars. They may be old readily available pictures, but thought I'd let everyone on here know.

So sad to hear this.I remember seeing him run at Miami-Hollywood Speedway years ago.

May he rest in peace and continue driving in the big above.

Too bad. I liked him, he was like the John Force of today back then. I remember watching a race where the car spun around, the body blew off and when the car came to a stop he got back on the throttle and still won the race.
