----Some may remember me saying that Arlen used to come into my Dads hardware store and pick up all kinds of stuff when he worked for Russ Ceifert (RC Industries) in Medina OH (circa 1965-6). Russ went on to a major position at American Racing later on. Arlen was a class act and could really make just about anything he touched run faster. I last saw him with his last SS Mopar and, while older he really hadn't changed at all. If you pull up the Hot Rod Magazine thread that Lee posted you will see Arlen wearing an RC industries T-shirt. RIP Akron Arlen Vanke.......Bill S
