Today would have been the 79th birthday of Don Aronow

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.

Re: Today would have been the 79th birthday of Don Aronow

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.
