Ron Anderson retired in early 2010, and by that summer he was living his dream. He had customized a wicked 1966 Chevy El Camino into a drag racer that turned 11.7 seconds in the quarter mile. His wife of more than 40 years, Gayl Anderson, who had traveled to countless drag strips with him -- even on their honeymoon -- served as pit crew.
On the morning of Aug. 27, 2010, Ron Anderson popped over to the Portland International Raceway entrance to pay for a tech card that would allow him to compete the following day. He was standing by the ticket window when a pickup truck drove through, its long trailer pinning him against the booth.
What happened next -- a freak accident bound to happen, as Portland lawyer Tom D'Amore describes it -- turned an outgoing thrill seeker into a man who seldom leaves an assisted living center in Vancouver.
