I remember reading the story when I was young and into Olds. Still have the magazine to this day. There's some other cool Olds stuff in that issue as well. My condolences to the Gross family.

I have that issue of SS&DI also. My condolences to his family. I know he is at the Olds dealership up there, getting ready to race.

I worked for Buddy at the speed shop back in the 80's. What an awesome job for a 16-18 year old kid. We built the engine for my 65 GTO right there in the shop with the help of Dan Lattimore and others! What an experience!! I have a 72 Olds Cutlass convertible now because I liked the way they looked and it's what my idol raced in stock eliminator! R.I.P. Buddy!
