One more Bobby Warren inducteed into the East Coast Drag Time Hall of Fame, Henderson, NC, 2003. The stories you hear as these guys are inducteed on Sunday during this week-end long event are priceless.

i was stationed in jacksonville in 1975-77 and got the pleasure of watching Bobby race with us. back then we went drag racing on friday/saturday nights and on sunday during the day. i was eighteen and drove my everyday driven 69 nova to the drag strips and race it. i ran 13.00 flat for the two years i raced it. i even drove it to michigan for christmas one year. but i remember always telling myself i want one of bobby warren's cars. they were all the best they could be, the two years i spent in N.C. were i will never forget and it's because of friends like bobby.

Hi
Does anyone know what Bobby's most successful race car was? The 69 camaro maybe? Where is it now? Yeah... we should start a photo gallery of his former cars. Like that awesome Thunder Valley thread.

Here's a pic of Mr. Bobby's World Championship Nova that I took at Kinston, NC, on a Sunday afternoon after the Blaney points meet on Saturday night.

Here's a couple of pics of the Nova taken by George Cureton at the 1970 World Finals at Dallas. George bought the car after the race.

Great to see that video of Bobby. He did some work on my car in the 70's. Had the pleasure of knowing him and racing against him in many weekly races at Florence-Darlington and Blaney. The good ole days.

how would a guy go about validating a car that was supposed to be one of Bobby's cars? There is a 69 nova close to me that is supposed to be his car that he won the world finals in dallas tx?

I would probably start at the source by calling Mr Bobby at Warren Racing Engines. You can reach him there almost every day.

My guess would be the SS/IA '67 Camaro that he won several national events with in '74. I think he may have won the Div 2 title that year also. That car was featured in a lot of magazine ads back then. He wrecked that car in a top end collision with Jim Kinnett at the Blaney points meet in 76 or 77.
