If you only knew the amount of drivers who said they learned how to race clean or not at all from Bob Kinser. Often touted as one of the best people to be around off the track. You raced him clean or you were given a age ole lesson.

One of my last conversations with Greg Staab was at Last years Lawrenceburg Nationals. I said Greg, I remember the first time I went to Bloomington Speedway. Back in 87-88 or so and they had a race called the Bloomington Bash. LMs and NW sprints only. Both 40 lap features. I remember you started 18th and the last five laps. Bob Kinser, Randy Kinser and Ricky Hood were racing three wide (ON BLOOMINGTON) for the lead and you were banging on their rear nerfs in fourth, Trying to get around em near the end of the race.

Greg said to me, "I remember that race perfectly. like it was yesterday. But you got it wrong, I banged Randy and Ricky's nerfs. Not Bobs, You didn't do that to Bob"

Bob won that race and Staab ended up fourth

LIke Jerry said. For most of his racing career, BOB was Indiana Sprint Car racing. About the only guy as big and stalky as him I can remember was Dick Gaines.
