Bob Reed passing?

Last one,
Gosh the tales just keep popping into my mind about ole Bob--I have stood in his front yard after watching him thrash to get a new Hemi in the car--and after a "few" cold Coors lights--and then see him break in the rings out in front of the house--8 second car ripping up the neighborhood--now THAT is fun to watch!!!! Moma's get your kids out of the road

He took his front wheel bearings with no grease--dipped them in STP and hung them to drip off --then installed--no grease ever

One of the most amazing things I ever saw was the car was sitting outside the shop on the concrete--in neutral--wind came up and car moved a long way
I asked --he says--rolling resistance on a race car should be like that--wasn't mine?? Duh--no!!! If you sit down and think about that a while you will understand just how he did so many record breaking things with a drag car--I SWEAR that happened exactly as I described!
