Since we swiped this tread and are probably boring the Hey out of the young fellas here, we may as well go on.

I remember the guy in the wheel chair, think he had something to do with a A/D or B/D later at Byron IL. But I don't remember his name either.

Used to get parts from Hydro Bob, couldn't believe it he had a bunch of row house's garages for a shop, but was good at what he did. I can remember him saying, I know I have clutch fingers for that front pump, then whipping out his keys and going down the alley three doors and sure enough there they where. We was running a Clutch turbo at that time, after a disastrous hole making incident with a clutch Flight. He was a lot of help. He was so well known as Hydro Bob, that I don't think anyone knew his last name.

Those have to be the ugliest cars ever on a dragstrip.
