Dick

Loehr, a Lansing, Mich.-based Funny Car racer in the 1960s who later

competed in Pro Stock, died May 13 after a 10-year battle with prostate

cancer. An engineer by trade, Loehr used his job connections to get

sponsorship and assistance for his racing operations. In 1967, Loehr

fielded the Max Curtis Ford Stampede Mustang, which was fitted with a

427 SOHC engine before a 392 Chrysler Hemi. The car was replaced by a

new Mustang in 1969. In 1970, he moved to Pro Stock, where he

campaigned Mavericks until he left the sport after the 1972 season.
