| 03/14/03 | Todd L | I believe Ronnie Dunstan was good friends with AJ Foyt (yes that AJ Foyt) and George Snider and may have run USAC Midgets or Indy Cars for AJ Foyt. Any help on this? |
| 01/19/04 | Ted Schmidt | You are correct, Ronnie did run some USAC suuff, mostly midgets. |
| 07/24/04 | Raybert | I remember Ronnie when he ran Bob Bender's semi-late
model Fords in 1967-69 on the Sel-Wil circuit with quite a lot of success. He also tried
his hand in sprint cars during this same time. I believe Ronnie still holds the altitude
record at Selinsgrove for a sprint car when he ran over a wheel that came off of another
car near the end of the frontstretch. Ronnie suffered a detached retina and was out of
racing for a while until he healed. He then moved off to modifieds and I lost track of him until I saw him racing Legends cars on TV a number of years ago and I've read he still does so. |
| 07/29/04 | Steve Pados | This racer was a former Carl Van Horn 71E and was bought by Karl Thompson who changed the paint and number. Affectionately known As Karl Thompsons "Mean Machine" Dunstan was a threat wherever they raced the car. Steve Pados - Car Quest Gaoline Alley |
| 09/08/04 | Walt | This car was the Carl Van Horn 71-E, Sold to Karl Thompson & driven by Ronnie Dunstan in the middle 70s. On a sad note Karl passed away last December. |

| 03/03/07 | Kathy Jones | Ronnie is still friends with AJ Foyt. He was hired by
him to drive his NASCAR hauler. He is still racing in the Masters Division for the INEX
Legend Cars. You see, I'm one of his long time fan club members, he is my uncle and when I
was just a young girl he would take me to the track with him. I can still remember going
to his garage with him so he could do work on his race cars. I was his gofer back then, he
would tell me what tool he wanted and describe it to me and I would get it for him.
Because of him I can say that if something happens to my car I'm not afraid to fix it or
get greasy. You can follow this years race results for him at www.rmrmotorsports.com . His Niece from California Kathy Jones |
