Re: RIP Woodro Josey
So sad to hear, I became friends with he and Linda 30+ years ago when I worked for TRW ... and I had him build me a 350 engine for my Corvette I/SA back in the early-mid 90's.
God Bless him

Re: RIP Woodro Josey
Very sad. I talked to him earlier this year and knew he was not doing well, but this is a shock. I always considered Woodro to be too big to pass. He was legendary in his life and will be even more legendary now. Prayers and sympathies to Linda. . . My friend since 1976.
We always picked at each other and joked. The best I got to him was putting his "Woodro Josey Racing Engines" license plate upside down on Mike Mayronne's Camaro at Indy in 1983. He came to me in the Barn and asked if I was mad at him, but I told him I was from Arkansas and didn't know how to read so I didn't know it was upside down. We laughed for decades about that. A great racer, an innovator, and a good friend.
