He was killed in a racing accident with the Ike Iacono dragster. He will be missed by many

Sad day.  I was only only around him a couple of times.  He seemed to be just a super nice fellow.  I enjoyed everything he wrote.

I looked forward to his email column. He was a talented man. R.I.P.

Wow, an important name in the hobby.

Seems to be comments about a possible medical event that lead to the crash? One item I read was that Pat never lifted off the throttle and drove off the end of the track.  Will be interested if the cause is reported.

He contributed a huge amount to the hot rod culture, movement or what ever you wish to call it

His was the first name I ever remembered as an author . My affliction for street rods was helped along by his articles in street rodder in the mid 70s. I still remember the picture in the article where he left the magazine  . I never met the man but I was saddened to hear of his passing . RIP Mr. Ganahl
