Loved ever minute of his pro stock days. Stuck it in the NHRA's face wanting the GM camp to win, for marketing reasons, GM did everything they could to beat him and struck out, boy I loved that. I believe Bob could take a lawn mower and win with it, very smart and hard working, but most of all, he did every aspect himself from ground up. Chrysler had been flogging the 340 for years, Bob fixed its short comings in days, then ran away from the field the whole year. If he suggested putting dirt on the intake I would do it. My hero period!
