Stewart,
I thought I might be forgetting other racers and John Petrie from Canada was one of them. Thanks.

Pretty cool!

A little history. Bill Tanner had his Clinic thru Lenox Dodge in Atlanta. He had a shop In Norcross Ga and did Engines for customers. A buddy and I went to him to have a Hemi done for a Super Stock Cuda convertible in 71. Bill said he would do the short block and Warren Barnett, who was still working at a Buick dealership, worked out of a corner of the shop and would do the heads and carbs. Between the time we struck a deal and he started on the engine he up and quit racing. Totally quit even though I think Terry Earwood had won the Div 2 SS championship. Warren decided to take the shop over so he ended up doing the engine and we decided to let him do the car too. Barnett Race Cars took off. Sometime during that time we helped Warren clean out a bunch of stuff Bill left and I remember throwing out cases of clinic books, post cards and other clinic stuff. Who knew we should have saved some of it. I kept a post card and a book. The rest was trashed. Warren stayed at the Norcross shop until after he bought BCI in downtown Atlanta in the late 80's and was there until 2016 when he moved to the current Decatur location. Sorry for the Hijack Bill but I thought the history was interesting.

Thank you everyone for all of the orders and history. I got the original book back in 1969 at a seminar here in Augusta at Robert's Plymouth.

Later, in 1985, when we booked Ronnie for a Pro Stock Match Race here at Jackson Drag Strip, he looked at the track, said it looks like a 6-pack day and away he went. Made 3 straight runs!

When our daughter was 6 years old and trying out her first Jr. Dragster, he was testing a car here. He signed her first time card and put on it "Never race with your own money." He said he always had someone paying for his racing!

He was quite a great racer and promoter for the sport.

We have now printed some license plates on aluminum that are reproductions of the ones given out by Ronnie at the supercar clinics as door prizes. They are like the one seen on the front of his 1968 Hemi Barracuda.
Ebay auction no. 402358935998. $15 includes shipping.
