Don Mc Kirgan

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.

Winning two races in one night at 83 is tremendous!

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.
