It was both kids that did it. They told Bob that others were doing it and Bob told them there was no way it could be hidden. The kids proved him wrong; Rusty drove the car to a few races and qualified in the top. Bob told NHRA to show them what was taking place; it appears that NHRA had turned their heads away and at the end Bob was the one that paid the consequences. After that, there was a Yellow Firebird that had an explosion and suddenly there was a break-in in a shop on the town of Fairfield, Illinois. I have enjoyed the pleasure of talking to Bob and he has always been a nice guy and have even shared some of his knowledge. Bob can make power on any engine and he demonstrated it when he raced the Plymouth Arrow with the small block. This is not taking away from Lee Shepperd; great driver and also a great cylinder head porter. Sad to say, but our sport lost many innovators in the class such as Lee, Don Carlton and John Hagen. |
