Another racer passes on
 

I was just informed of the passing of Bill Robinson. Bill raced Oldsmobiles early in his career at the old Suffolk track later teaming with Ron Garey in the 80's.

That's a shame .He was a classy and fun guy. I think I'll have a beer for Ol' Bill.

Hey Chuck,

Sorry to hear about Bill, as Mark said he was a real funny guy... Always had plenty of stories to tell and keep you laughing..........May he rest in peace...

I did not know him, but, it is a sad day when we lose a racer. It is exceptionally bad when they are Oldsmobile racers. Not too many of them left.
Chuck, you need to talk your dad into coming to a Div.1 event.

Wish I could John but he barely leaves the house now a days

Chuck:
I am very saddened to learn of Bill's passing. Seems like just yesterday my dad and I were in TX (buying his current ride from Bill). He is definitely one of a rare bunch of ol school, die hard racers (like your dad).

Hope you and momma are enjoying your retirement?

Bill was a great guy...................Sorry he is gone.......

Re: Another racer passes on
 

Dean, thanks very much. I wouldn't call it much of a retirement working full time and taking care of two houses at the same time doesn't leave much relax time. had my 65 cutlass delivered a couple weeks ago I'll send you a pick of it. 44k original miles (bought it with only 19K)

Chuck:
Evidently old habits are hard to break! Lol I was aware that the retirement did not include the day time job or "honey to do list". Hope you are finding sometime to enjoy yourself. I would love to try and squeak a visit to VA next month, but probably not going to happen with the travel schedule.

take care,
Dean

Bill did alot of Pure Stock racing back in the early 70's at 75-80 Dragway in Maryland. He had one fast 70 W-30 car back then, and was a weekly regular in the "heated" pure stock wars that went on there. Tex Miller and Vic Guilmino also got their taste for Stock racing at that track. It was great fun back then, and Bill won alot of races there. RIP Bill.
