Wonder if there will be &quot;Free Beer&quot; at the funeral?

If only every drag strip was run like Bob's, lots of great memories at Da Grove!

RIP Bob.

I was working in Racine a few years ago when the track had a special day dedicated to Bob.

I won my class there in 1994?. After race Bob signed my time slip and we went to the trophy room and he told me to take whatever one I wanted. Nice track to race at ,excellent traction. The jet car he rode on was The Green Mamba, and the beer was Old Style.
