Bobby's car was a lighter green.

IIRC, Bobby also owned the '66 Chevelle wagon that Robbie Fisher still bracket races.

Jeff, when I was at Neita he just casually introduced himself. I remember him saying he was John Day. I asked if he was the same John Day that was on my fenders and he replied Yes. I was floored. I think he was racing a dragster of some sort. NIce guy, and if he is STILL building motors, obviously he is doing something right! Hope to see you there. Sounds like you are a regular! Dave
