For all you drag racing enthusiastsGordie Bonin passed away yesterday. Gordie was nicknamed '240 Gordie' because he consistantly ran 240 m.p.h. [or over] in his nito funny car before anyone else. He won many National events,drove in top Fuel and Nitro Funny car {The Bubble Up_Firebird] and was a true Canadian Drag Racing hero[Red Deer Alberta].Google Gordie for the complete story of his career. R.I.P.

Sad news for sure.
