Thanks Joe Costello for this great interview.
Like Mr. Bender said: He have "the Stocker Disease".
To me, He is one of the Real Heroes of drag racing like a lot of stocker racers are...
Sorry but I got "the Stocker Disease," Too.

Loved the interview Bob, amazing car that serves as testimony to yours and Penny’s passion for the sport.

Joe always does a great job, he really gets that without sportsman racers there would be no sport. Almost makes you worry that NHRA will send him packing like they did Lewis Bloom.

Good interview.
Too bad they didn't get into the history of the car, starting in New England about 45 years ago.
WA Lee's buddy and sponsor, Ray Litty built it with a similar 350 2 bbl , Powerglide combo.
It ran in the high 13's @ 250 hp .
Several other owners before it went to Pa.

Very good interview. Bob knows how to have fun racing. Need more people like him and Penny showing how to do it and have fun.

Did I read the back window right? - Penny is cancer free - - AWESOME.
