Bob is QUITE a character. Both he and his wife Terry (another piece of work)
raced the roadster. Then they got into Z's. Last I heard they had bought a
Winston Cup car, but that goes back a while.
Typical Studdard story: Bob had a nitrous rig hidden in a fake fire
extinguisher system. He was told not to use the nitrous until the end of
the race and only then in a small dose.
1st lap led the pack.
2nd lap Bob opens up the nitrous.
3rd lap Bob limps to the pit without a head gasket. doouugh!!
so much for leading the pack.
I have that manifold around here somewhere.
