Strohs good all Detroit !!

Awesome!
|
At 77, still drag racing and probably still drinking Strohs.
God love him.......I can only wish. Paul |
Very cool!
|

Great video, glad to hear they were able to deal with his health issues
and get a pacemaker implanted. |
So cool!! I love it!!
|
I notice he's switched from Stroh's to Coors Light :beers:
What a wonderful video and glad to hear he's on the mend. |
What a great family. Really good people. I can't tell you how many people reach out about their memories of Mr. Ron and both Tin Soldiers.
Really proud that his son Jason has been able to continue the Tin Soldier legacy, and even turn it into a successful business (Fabrication and Racing). Check them out if you can at: https://tinsoldierracecars.com/ and on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/tinsoldierracecars Hope to see Mr. Ron back in the saddle (and with a good weight on the car this time! :) ) soon. /R Blessed to be the current caretaker for the second time of the Tin Soldier COPO |
Also a fun pic. Mr. Ron and his wife back in the day:
