If you were running stuff Bob put together you had more than just a chance to win. You were someone others had to contend with. He's one of those faces you see in dictionary when you look up the word RACER.

We Have been Running Cars built by Bob since I started in Tq Midgets. That was 1987, I even tagged along with him and Robert when they race their first Mini Sprint at Salem Fairgrounds.
Bob Nichols was one of the founding Members of the Umra Tq Midgets. He was a Driver Champion in 1980 at the age of 52. He then won Back to back championships with his son Robert driving for him. Bob also built the 2006 Umra Championship car Driven By My Son Kenny Byrge.
I was fortunate enough to be able to go to the 4 crown this year and spend the Day talking racing with Bob Nichols. I know that we couldn't see the Track most of the time but it was still one of the best races I have ever seen mainly because It was the Last time at the track With Bob.
Rest in Peace Bob. You are a racing Legend. And A friend that we will miss.:respect::respect:
