    Sonny Meyer dead at 89

    Surprised no one posted on this yet. Ace engine man had 5 decades at the Speedway.

    I was surprised he was still around!

      Wasn't Sonny Meyer not the father of our fellow member Camking who hosts the technical forum?

      Whatever, a well loved, well respected hero on the sidelines of the 500 gone.
      RIP Sonny Meyer, enjoy the company up there.

          He looks like a movie star in that second photo.

              Was George Bignotti married to Sonny Meyer's sister?

                Yes, at one time. They later divorced.
