I haven't seen it mentioned here yet...legendary engine builder Ed Pink has passed, at the age of 93.  He started off in dry lakes racing, then became a name in drag racing, and ultimately built motors for NASCAR, Indy car and Can-Am.  He even consulted to Singer for modifying the engines in their Porsches.  https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64611989/ed-pink-engine-builder-obituary/

Thanks for the heads up.  Seemed like he was part of some amazing engineering and racing efforts.

There aren't many of the old guard left - There's Ed Iskenderian and Don Garlits, but I can't think of any others.
