Bob Beckert
 
Does anyone know if Bob Beckert is still around? I am trying to find some info on an old S/S car he might have owned back in the 70's. I belive that he was out of the Philadelphia area?
Thanks,
Mark J

Go to the HAMB forum, Junior Stock thread. Plenty of old timers there from that part of the country.

If it's the Bob Beckert I know he was from Winnipeg,Mb,Canada.He owned John Hagan's 65 hemi super stocker. He later moved to Indianapolis to run an engine manufacturing plant. Hope this helps.

Was the S/S car an Oldsmobile?
That would be the Philly Bob Beckert.

You're thinking of Bob Bueckert.

I remember the car. It was a root beer brown SS/OA (350/auto?). Not a single decal on it. Bob was very quiet, but not unsocialble. The only visible race item on the car was the Fenton wheels. Even the white lettering on the tires was mounted inside! Back when an enclosed trailer was a show stopper, Bob flat towed the Olds along the Pennsylvania Turnpike with a mid sixties Ford Galaxie four door. Many Super Stock racers dreaded seeing that car roll through the gate.
