The world of drag racing has lost a great man...Otto Timms, owner of Paradise Dragstrip in Calhoun, Ga. Like a true legend , he fought a hard battle , and finally passed... but he did so on a race day. We all know he left this world listening to the sounds of his passion , he will be forever missed but never forgotten,
RIP Otto Timms
