By chance, I looked up Bob Higman on the net for his phone number 2 years ago. I was looking for info on ross steering boxes, like out of a forklift.
Man was I in for a nice surprise! That was truly, sincerely, one of the most rewarding conversations I have had with someone in the racing world. He told me aboout getting Buzz Barton out of jail on his wedding day, Norm Hall and the "Nuthing Special" Kuzma, and enlightened me about a few things going on within the world of Indy these days.
I learned about his "tubing bender", where he got his first ross steering gear, and why he liked those over a Schroeder box.
Wish I had talked to him more. MUCHO RESPECT FOR THE LEGEND OF BOB HIGMAN. RIP
