What happened to Dolmetsch??

[Mr Froggy]

I wasn't sure where to post this but was just curious about Don Dolmetsch.  He's a long time Mopar guy and used to post a lot on this sight but I see he hasn't posted for a year now!

I've been wondering the same, I miss him. I used to follow his build posts as people follow soap opera.

You could send him an e-mail through his forum profile, click on his name on any post he made and it will allow you to send him a message.

I believe his close call at the airport drag races gave him pause.

I guess I'm in the dark!  What happened at the airport drags?

This was his post.

Short video pics and old video original set up with six snowmobile carbs and mild street cam at Shannoville several years ago. First pass ever on the car .
Next I went to a self designed custom made cam, Single four Eddy carb and Offy intake. That is when the front end started coming up at good bite tracks.
I sold the reworked Eddy carb for a fortune so tried a reworked Holley 600 DP and installed a A&A governor kit for adjustable auto shift. This was the first easy shakedown pass on that with a in car camera and its video quality is much better then the handheld's. By now I am only running at Picton Airfield.
Next installed and debugged the new tunnel ram twin Holley 2bbl set up. I think this is the second run that day. This thing is now going too fast for me and I lift just before the traps. In fact you can see me reaching for the brake.
The last is a still photo taken as I just flash by the traps. This will be my last pass driving this car. Too fast for me now and too hard to get in and out of now.
These span about 8 years.

Thanks Glenn!  I also need to correct myself, his last name is actually spelt Dulmage.
