As usual, Travis is spot on....When I first started racing, Bill was referred to as the MASTER of the big block Chevy in the Indiana - Kentucky area. Later in his racing career he raced this yellow Olds that was a handful to drive. I vividly remember a young lady from southern Indiana driving this car at Ohio Valley. I was in the water box when she left the line. The car went straight up ,like usual ....but drifted to the guardrail....She had balls the size of grapefruits so lifting was not going to happen ...When I returned to the pits I saw where she scraped the entire passenger side of the car. Thankfully she was OK...She went on to be quite a successful driver on the NHRA trail......Thanks for the trip down memory lane Randall......
