As others have stated, Bob saw a bunch of races - for a guy who didn't drive. He loved our sport and the folks in it. I seem to remember that he got "trapped" on the West Coast after 9/11 and had to spend a few extra days ib CA. I think he spent the time with Mowerman......
RIP, Bob.....
Chuck, thanks for helping with my memory loss, when Vukie started this thread on Bob I right away remembered the last time I saw Bob was at Manzy but was struggling to remember if it was 2001 or 2002. Bob was one of those people that touched so many peoples lives in auto racing. Like so many other New England racers I know I met Bob through Grinch and his family.
