Today would have been the 79th birthday of Don Aronow

[Top Banana]

He was a fierce competitor above everything else.

This is a photo of him winning a boat race after he retired. This is the only boat race he ever won drivng a Cigarette. All the other races were in Donzi's. Formula's, Magnum's and Cary's.

Here is the photo that launched a thousand future racers.

But remember, that he loved being the underdog....most of his career was in small boats that were underpowered compared to the competition.

Here is a shot of Don and Knocky House racing one of the 27 foot stock Magnums.
