Re: Bobby Warren on TV
I have been dealing with Bobby Warren for 25 years and he's always been one way, an honest and fair man. When another engine builder tried to cheat me, Bobby stood up for me and has been doing my motors ever since. I've been blessed just knowing him and honored to call him my friend.
If you want his autograph he will be at the Skipper and Simmons' Fish Fry in October at Virginia National. :) |
Re: Bobby Warren on TV
I saw Bobboy Warren at Sylacauga, Alabama in the late seventies. He was driving that "Krunchy Chicken" super stock Camaro in a big payout bracket race. I think it was for a $1000, big in those times. Talk about a country track out in the middle of dusty fields. Paul Smith's "Entertainer" funny car was match racing the "Trojan Horse". There was so much dust on the track that part of the time you couldn't see the cars at the finish line.

Re: Bobby Warren on TV
Bobby Warren has been racing longer than I have been on this earth! To get the chance to see a living legend race is one thing, to meet him and see him at his work is another. I have had the pleasure of visiting his shop pn more than one occassion. I must say the part of NC I was born and raised produced some legendary drag racers: Bobby Warren, Garley Daniels, Robert "Big R" RIchardson, David Surles, Jeff and Charlie Taylor, Vince Holmes, Jimmy Spells etc the list goes on and on. I would put the old Tar Heel state up against any other for best drag racers. I guess California might have something to say about that one lol!

Re: Bobby Warren on TV
Hi
Does anyone know what Bobby's most successful race car was? The 69 camaro maybe? Where is it now? Yeah... we should start a photo gallery of his former cars. Like that awesome Thunder Valley thread. |
Re: Bobby Warren on TV
Here's a pic of Mr. Bobby's World Championship Nova that I took at Kinston, NC, on a Sunday afternoon after the Blaney points meet on Saturday night.
