    Default Derrick Dong

    Rand emailed me that Derrick Dong has died.
    Derrick was the Director of Motorsports for Performance Friction.

    I met him on pit lane many years at the Daytona 24 or Sebring.
    His knowledge of race car brakes always left my head spinning.

    A big loss to the sport.
