Memorial grave stone for Div 2 racer WB Hutto

Joe Pinkston · 08-11-2012, 09:40 PM

I recieved the proof yesterday for the memorial bronze grave marker I am having made for long time Div 2 stock eliminator racer WB Hutto. I posted a picture of it on Facebook, but I know some of you on here that knew WB are not on FB, so I wanted to share it here also.

Since I'm not skilled enough to know how to post pictures on here my friend Gary Federico (Go Fast Gary) is going to add the picture to this thread.

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham & WB Hutto

Just for some explaination about this. In the last few years WB really enjoyed talking on the phone and visiting with his friends, talking about his racing adventures. Whenever the phone rang and it was WB calling you knew it was going to be atleast an hour long phone call. He would many times close out his racing stories with "I'm a legend in my own mind". Mark Wilson can attest to this.

The picture in the top left corner was taken at Orlando Speed World when NHRA still ran the fuel injection classes and WB set the F/FIA national record. I believe the year was 2006. This was an accomplishment that he was most proud of.The top right photo was taken at the U S Nationals at Indy I believe the year is either 2006 or 2007 with Bud Rowe driving and winning F/FIA class eliminations.

This will be placed at WB's grave site in the Forest Medows cemetery in Gainesville when it is completed.

Thanks Gary for getting the picture up for me.
