Talking The Original Tin Soldier - Still Running in the US Nats

Mr. Ron (Ron Terrell) the original owner of the Tin Soldier COPO is still running this week in the 45th US Nationals!

From his son Jason, who owns Tin Soldier Fabrication and Racing:

Quote:
The old man is competing in he 45th US Nationals this week. Everyone of those 45 times has been in superstock. At 77 years old he is still a force to be reckoned with. He is the original Tin Soldier and we are lucky to have him. Help us wish Ron Terrell good luck! Let’s bring home another Wally! #tinsoldierracecars #theOG

Mr. Ron test run



He's definitely one of the greats and a true enthusiast to still be making the milk run at 77 years old.

I notice he's switched from Stroh's to Coors Light

What a wonderful video and glad to hear he's on the mend.
