I think it was Billy, I believe he was one of the first 10 or so to run in the sixes?

Billy did it, to prove to Bob that it could be done. It has been concealed in several places.

I thought Bob was the one that did the plumbing on Billys car.

I like this quote from Glidden.

I don’t think about it, and I don’t worry about it, and I don’t even give a ****.

If any statute of limitation has expired (or ”statue of limitation” as Seinfeld’s Kramer would call it), perhaps someone knowing the truth about “Wayne County” could speak up?

Perhaps someone with more gumption and intelligence than I, might submit a FOIA request to the FBI. I’m certain they were involved in the “Wayne County” case.

Might be amusing to see if anything was/is redacted.

Billy I believe was the 2nd member of the Holley 6-sec. club, with a 6.999.
