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.
