Wow! I'm Jealous, you went to a BBQ at Big Bobs house. Oh and Phil Remington was there too 
Great stories about Bob, thanks.
My Dad was a tail gunner on B-24s/B17s, shot down over Italy, made it home.
I was with the First Cav, proud of that. Not quite sure I'm completely home yet.
To the trolls, you not only chased Bob away, but you cut off this clubs access to Phil Remington, through Bob. So much information lost.
All Bob was posting was about a BBQ in his backyard, like any of us might posts about a BBQ with friends, and you a-hole trolls, accused him of boasting/bragging that he had one of Shelbys originals over to his house. |
Thank you 427SSSS, for bringing up the "Trolls" My story isn't maybe as neat as the Phil story. But years ago, I was 9yo, at Pacific Raceway's when a "Alan Green" Cheetah lost it's door, coming out turn 9. and landed in the pits, I ran to get it, and wouldn't hand it back to anyone but the (Driver) who turned out to be (Allen Grant). Fast forward some 30+years, and I'm at the Vintage Races (Pacific Raceways) and parked next to me, (A bigger motorhome then mine
) is all be damned Allen Grant. I asked him if he remembered that story, and he said, you're that kid !!! Now fast forward to today, Allen & I are close friends (So Trolls if I'm bragging TOO BAD,) and we see each other quite often, he still has a house in the PNW, To me he's #1-my good friend, 2-I guess some kind of Cobra Icon
. There is more to the story, about me meeting my 2nd wife, at Allen pits that day, and us marrying some 25+years later
Thank you for letting me share, Cheers Tom
