My ongoing study of the female human form is alive and well but not at work. I'm not a goody-two-shoes, it's just what I need to do because I've been on the unemployment line and it isn't fun.

I hope everything works out with Bruce. I go back to the time he was an unknown at the '67 Hoosier Hundred and was beating the best in the business for a good portion of that race.
Gregg,

I remember the 1967 Hoosier Hundred well as the first time I heard of Bruce Walkup. That was my first Hoosier Hundred, and I remember Bruce driving a DOHC Ford powered car. I believe he set a new qualifying record. I believe he served on the state fair board after his driving days. He also owned a Chevrolet dealership in Sullivan, IN. I remember Bill Donella interviewing Bruce before the USAC sprint feature one Sunday afternoon. This was around 1977 and the car business was having its' ups and downs. Bill asked Bruce how the car business was at his dealership. Bruce replied, "Well, Bill, cars are like a**holes; everybody has one!"
