I was given a motivational book ghost written with Bobby. It was a fabulous book that I enjoyed immensely. I gave it to him at the Midget Hall of Fame luncheon in Tulsa and asked him to autograph it for the person that gave me the book. We talked like he knew me for years. And we both had a laugh because we had a very strange thing in common. We both won significant races with re-cap tires with ground up walnut shell in the tires. His were made by a friend of his fathers in New Mexico and mine were made in the north east Neither one of us had enough money for the good stuff. Winning is winning it doesn't matter how you get there. Bobby won Pikes Peak multiple times with those recaps until a race sponsor tried to get them banned. Free tires is the only thing that got him to take the recaps off. Anyone lucky enough to get to talk with him is lucky enough.
