I meet Warren in 1970 at Donnybrook raceway . We got to be friends and was made him a honorary member of our Mustang club in the Mpls, Mn., area.

I kinda stumbled accross your website and saw the name of Warren Tope. I
took a double take and sure enough it’s him.

We were sadily informed of his death and missed him and his parents at
the races.

Warren Tope later raced another 73 Mustang, which is owned today by Gus Tarrab. Gus tells us something about his T/A racer
” Hi guys, I own Warren Tope’s 1973 T/A Mustang (some folks call it a 1971 but the paper work shows it left Ford at the end of 1972). Warren Tope ran the car in both SCCA and IMSA. I know that he was at Lime Rock in 1974. He was at Daytona, Road America as well. Then after Warren’s fatal crash the car was bought and raced by Bill Maier in the Trans Am.”
