Al "The Lawman" Eckstrand, legendary Super Stock racer from the 1960's has died.
Eckstrand was a wicked racer and a guy who did a TON with the armed forces traveling with his car to places like Vietnam to greet the troops, entertain them and talk about the importance of safe driving for when they got home.
The interesting thing about Eckstrand was that he worked as a lawyer for Chrysler before becoming a kick ass drag racer.
He's in the drag racing hall of fame, deservedly so.
A sad list for 2008 has gained another entry.
