Just got my flyier for the 2013 National Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green Ky. Looking over the names of the honorees
this year one of the names jumped out at me. I said hey, "I know that guy"!!! Well ok, I don't "KNOW" him....
but I did have the pleasure of meeting him, with BP, and spending some time with him at the DLN east a couple years ago.
Who is it you ask.......?? Wait for it........JON LUNDBERG . Yes "Thunderlungs" is one of this years honorees.
With all the "OSCAR" talk goin on now, I kind of think of this as Drag Racings answer to oscar. To be honored at
such a prestigious nostalgia event, must be like a "LIFE TIME ACHIEVEMENT" award.
The flyier touches on his career starting as just a teen announcing his first race standing on an oil drum using a
megaphone. Later he worked at 3 Michigan tracks. Jon appeared at over 120 different strips including the
MARCH MEET in Bakersfield. (not too shabby huh? )
My congrats to you Mr. Lundberg.
I encourage anyone, anywhere near Bowling Green KY. on Fri. June 14 to stop by the Holiday Inn Convention Center
at 7PM. To see Jon honored in person at the reception. It's FREE, and open to the public
