My grandparents lived right behind Bill King and the race shop in Evansville Bill was a very nice guy. My uncle keeped his latemodel at my grandparents house and bill would come over or papaw would send us back to bills shop to pick stuff up. Bill also owned Kngs machine shop and I think now lives in flordia. He employed my grandfather after he retired to help keep the shop clean (just to give him something to do and talk racing with each other).
