I never met Allen but with how much he was admired by the men here he must have been an Admirable Gentleman and a Hell of a Racer. My condolences to his friends here and his family. RIP Allen

I met Allen at Great Bend and at Bowling Green. He had a blue 62 and I do also so felt we liked the same 62.
Sad news, thinking of Allen......and missing seeing him again.

RIP good friend,he was the best! enjoyed racing with him always,never got to see him race the COPO s though and kick myself for not going to see that. we had some real fun times. there was this one time he had a table set up at Norwalk with 409 parts,and we were joking around calling it the 348/409 seminar! he really knew the W engine and could quote alot of part numbers at the drop of a hat. he will be missed.

Allen was a great guy, only got to speak with him over the phone a few times. Very thankful for the knowledge that was shared with me. God Speed Allen, you will be greatly missed by many.
