Title: Don Mc Kirgan
Post by: PineHurstPacer on May 15, 2024, 08:18:36 PM
The guy's a living time machine

Spent a year paralyzed with Guillain barre syndrome

Still winning races at 83 years old, amazing

Northfield should name a race after him

Didnt know about the Guillain barre syndrome.

The trotter in race 6 has some talent. Donny should have a nice summer with her.

Don lost his wife a year or so ago. At age 83 he still carries on. Simply amazing.

Is he the same Don Mc that was at Wheeling downs in the 70’s?
I remember racing against Don Mc there.

Does this mean the others he drove against aren't any good or is there another legitimate explanation for this??

I just think it is tremendous. At 83 winning two races against anyone is fantastic.
