Bob was an inovator and much respected racer. I had the pleasure of being in
the same lakes club, The Albata club. There were a lot of pioneers in the
club.
I have several pictures of his Chevy. 4 cyl. streamliner that he ran in the
early days. Didn't know him well but did have some good talks with him. God
speed Bob Rufi.
