What a shock, just saw him on TV yesterday at Norwalk.
He sure knew how to run a race track. RIP Mr. Bader.

You saw Bader Jr. on TV, unless they showed footage of Sr. during broadcast(I didn't watch that). Apparently he was at his place in Nebraska or Utah(?).

Bill was great for drag racing. Years ago for one of the Halloween Classic events he dressed in a Halloween costume. He put a smile on everyone's face dressed as a Ballerina with a Tu Tu and a wand with a star on the end. Condolences to the whole Bader family. Ray
