I wasn't if anyone knew his whereabouts. Tim he is still around .my brother goes by and visits him sometimes .... good guy we had lots of fun together ....i loned him a couple of tires one night .and tied a wrench to his rear springs in order to tighten the car up alitte off the turns ..used as a wedge ..funny it worked ..he would come out of the turns with the back kicked out just enough to make him fast ..so fast .he beat scott sulivan and david hortin in the feature won the race .. .... he said before the race he didnt like the car doing that ..i laughed and told hold him on he was going to wkip some butt ....... dont think i got my wrench back ..

champ1796 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Familiar sight at CC back then, GB dominating as he did in this race. Against some pretty good competition too! Pappy and Carpenter were fast too although Pappy seemed to fade towards the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong run no doubt. Dont know if your car just stayed consistent and the others got slower or what, but do remember you passing cars that were faster than you early on,. Without the caution GB may have lapped the field minus a couple of cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
