Default Re: Congrats to Bobby Warren and Family

In 1970 at the first NHRA SummerNationals held at York in Pa....
Bobby Warren was driving the brown'69 Chevy II in J/S. No lettering....no nothing....He went faster in J/S than cars 2 or 3 classes higher.....in the broiling sun!! We could hardly believe he could run that fast. We set the H/S record in Sept only a little faster than Bobby went at that race in J/S ! That car went to George Cureton eventually

The last race I ran as a legal SS/JA in the early 80's.....I raced Bobby in his red SS/GA Camaro......He won.....

I saw him at Maple Grove a few years ago racing his LT-1 Stocker......he was out walking in the AM and pleasant as can be......Always felt he was truly a legend right up there with Dave Boertman.......I always felt the racers from the hot south really were the best......they could run fast in conditions that were very tough.....hot and humid....
