Looks like my previous comment got chopped a bit.. Yes, Bob knew Both Don and Fritz Wilson well. He mentioned their name quite often and his stories were great stuff! I was very happy to get to know Bob much better after I joined the club with my eldest son Scott who raced the 88 Mod Coupe the past 3 seasons. As I stated above the last race was a good one and Bob finished strong, but it was tough watching him pull off the track, knowing it was the last time. Thanks for the comment

I wonder if Bob knew my uncles, Don and Fritz Wilson? I moved away from the colorado area long before I had the chance to really see them race. I'm sure Bob will be missed my many people. It's good to see the old guys still out there doing their thing. I enjoyed your posting, Mike.. thanks!
