It's with considerable sadness that we
must report the recent passing of
Arnold Bonner.
Arnold was a long-time competitor in the
mid-south drag racing scene with his
easily recognizable 1940 Chevrolet coupe.
He was also a featured participant among a
panel of honorees at the 2010 Memphis
Rodders Reunion, where we examined the
earliest days of the club's history.
Arnold was there when the local drag
racing scene began, and remained an
enthusiastic supporter of the sport
throughout his life.
He served his country in the Air National
Guard, retiring after a lengthy career. He
also spent his spare time drag racing
throughout the southeast for the better part
of four decades. He was a fixture at
Lakeland Drag
Strip, and staked a notable
claim to having raced at Lakeland every
year the track was in operation, and
always with the same car, his black 1940
Chevy coupe that was a fierce competitor
in the now defunct Modified Production
Eliminator. Arnold's infamous Chevrolet
was later restored by Fred Gilliam, and
has been displayed at the Memphis Rodders
Reunion on two separate occasions. Arnold
was also a whiz at setting up automotive
ignition systems for maximum performance,
and his skills in this area were widely
sought by his fellow racers.
