Gordie Keck's (HEMI-powered) Corvair wagon's August 22nd 1974 run at Bonneville didn't end well


. . . but the car was repaired and returned to the salt ​

 

Condolences to the family and friends in the passing of Gordie...as mentioned Godspeed seems rather appropriate for this former master in Go Fast...

 

Looks like He was an authority on living well.
Still, got there to soon.
Condolences to Family and Friends

 

Here's Gordon's photo of the Markley's #360D Belly Tank Lakester:

RIP

 

sincere sympathy goes out to his friends & fans & especially his Family

 

I remember his Corvair wagon…during inspection when he removed the nose piece there was 3 cases of beer stored for the trip. Always make me laugh….RIP….Gordie.

 

I knew the name but not the man. R.I.P. May your speed runs be long and successful.
