Re: RIP Buddy Ingersoll
Buddy was always thinking out of the box. I saw him playing the giant killer 20+ years ago in Pro Stock at Bristol with the small v6 turbo. IHRA quickly decided letting the 270ish. inch v6 turbo in with the mountain motored Pro Stocks was a bad idea. Buddy was a great asset to the sport. Don Jackson

Re: RIP Buddy Ingersoll
Very sad! I first met Buddy when we were both running 225 HP '56 Chevys in N /S at the Spring Natiolals at the Dallas track in the early '70s, (The one at Lewisville)
Buddy always had nice cars. Hard worker, bright guy. Loved to visit with him. He will be missed.

Re: RIP Buddy Ingersoll
THIS IS A SAD DAY...
I have a favorite of Buddy's innovations amongst all of them. It's when he had all the pro stock guys crying about his v6 turbo that blew the doors off any Pro stock at the time...NHRA banned him from humming it if I remember correctly, anybody have pics of that car and the et and mph? |
