Best I can tell, both pics were taken at Tri-City Dragway near Saginaw, MI back in the day...Bill still has this car and it is roughly 60% of the way restored back to being a BBC street cruiser for him and his wife.

I don't believe that Bill is on classracer, but I will send him this link to see all the messages I am sure this thread will get.


Added another pic from Indy in the 70's.

Happy 80th Birthday Bill!

Bill was a super guy and having raced him a number of times!

Andy, where is bill located now? Your dad is a class act like Bill also, imagine that is why they are such good friends! Glad they are both doing well.

Thanks Don. Bill is in Grand Blanc and my Dad lives just east of Williamston. You want to me PM you their emails/ ph#? They are always up for a good bench racing session...
