Rufus Boyd aka Brooklyn Heavy passes.

[Schmidt A103]

At true legend,and a real charecter that brought personality to the classes in his day.I have heard some great stories of Heavy's antics with his entire convoy of race cars running his name.People who spoke to him recently said he still loved the sport both on the street and at the track.He will be missed.

I have a lot of tales of street racing with him around. One time the guys we ran took off with the money after we beat them Heavy and his crew got us the money the next week. Hand delivered it.

I remember Heavy's cars along with alot of Schiroff motored cars.The car that stands out was a 64 Galaxie with a cammer.Whipped a corvettes *** coming and going.
Anybody remember the Fish Kid and George the Greek?Hows about Al Cap?

I think the guy you are you thinking of is Tab Talmadge, rather than Rufus Boyd (?). Is your friend Kurt Vogt? If so then you're thinking of a '65 A/FX 427 Cammer previously raced by Don Nicholson then purcahsed by Brooklyn street racer Tab Talmadge back in '69 which he raced on the street. The car eventually disappeared into the back of a Brooklyn storage garage where Vogt tracked it down then purchased from the owner (Talmadge had sold it to someone else by that time). I don't know of any other Cammer Mustangs in New York at the time but I'm sure there may have been. If this is the car you're thinking of, then I don't believe Brooklyn Heavy owned the car after Talmadge, at least I never heard that (and since Heavy went to jail in '75 or '76 for 25 years, it most likely wasn't him the car was purchased from, especially since the Feds took all but one or two of his cars in a raid). But anything is possible Is this the story you're thinking of?

There was a cammer mustang with a tunnelram from South Jersey I believe. They were friends of Max. The guy with the beatup GTO. We ran them on the Willowbrook with the hemi car. Got lucky twice.
