Comment: One of my all time favorites Bob Rossell in the car
he called "Hillruth" which I think was a combination of mom and mother in
law's names maybe??? Cool car, with the back up high, and the cool
"70's style" lettering. Bob was one of the most steady runners on both dirt and asphalt, and Bob also did his share of winning too. One of the smartest drivers... Told me one time, "There's been a lot of 3rd place cars wrecked trying to finish 2nd.... If I had a 3rd place car, I'd finish 3rd and drive it on the trailer at the end of the night... get the 3rd place money, and go racing again the next night...." Recognized as a great driving talent, a great car builder/fabricator, and if you ever get to meet him, you'd forget all about all that and would just say that he's just one heck of a great guy. |
