Back in the late '60s to early '70s there was a car magazine writeup about Big Willie Robinson, Tomiko, and their Hemi Daytona Charger. Might take a lot of digging for me to find the magazine but it's here somewhere. I think he headed a group called Street Racers of LA or something like that. He looked to be one huge guy.
