You know, Bobby was willing to try about anything to get that big old car faster, and this was back in the days when running a 350 Buick was about unheard of. He had to have been one of the pioneers for heavy Buicks in Stock. And running down in the classes like O and R didn't bother him any.
Me being local and working in the same town as him, during numerous visits to his speed shop for some spirited bench racing, he used to share stories about all kinds of crazy things he was trying on the car, some stuff that had failed miserably, or a few secret tidbits he was then trying to get away with! I had to marvel about some of the things he tried, he definitely thought "outside the box". His "sandwich oil pan gasket" trick was typical, as was the "breadbox rear end cover". Rule book didn't say you couldn't!!
But in retrospect, he's a whole lot of the reason I ever gave thought thought to jumping into this arena with the rest of you crazies!
Miss you Bobby D....
