of the gentlemen of the sport, Bob always had immaculate equipment and drove like a
gentlemen too. Bob was always a very consistent racer who won quite a few races in
the early 80's in Deleware. Bob passed away as a young man in his 50's a few years back, and will always be one of the favorites of the Vault. |

09/05/05 | Jim Storholt | That was a former Bob Rossell car was it not? I believe he built and drove that car before his last creation which was a familiar black and orange 56 with a much thinner body and those enormous drag tires that were popular in the late 70's at East Windsor. |
09/05/05 | 3-Wide | Is this the one you're thinking about Jim?... (click thumbnail) |
09/05/05 | Jim Storholt | Thats the one. The cut away at the front post on the drivers side was always a trademark of Rossell cars. I'm sure there were others but none come to mind. |
09/28/05 | J. Stinnett | Many Delaware drivers wished Bob stayed in Jersey to race. He went there and destroyed the competition. When that black #14 would pull into the pits, crews would thrash harder. |
09/22/06 | Todd Lewis | I miss the 14 out on the track, Bob Toreky was one of the most exciting drivers to watch . Not a superstar like Osmun,Ploski, Cagle etc. but always fun to watch. |
