Man, what a bummer. I never had the pleasure of seeing Bill race but did read and interact with him and vice versa via the many posts he and I made along with many others [in regards to photos posted] in a Yahoo! StockSuperStock drag racing group I used to frequent regularly back in the mid-2000's era.
I did see Bill's car at the 25th anniversary A-Body Hemi reunion in Carlisle [on Saturday] but didn't have the pleasure of meeting him in person because he a) wasn't present on Saturday or b) was elsewhere on the grounds at Carlisle.
RIP big man. But how can Bill do that with all those greats in drag racing heaven and first round of eliminations has just been called?
