Rick was always at the TRF and Warroad races poking around and having a great time. Got to know him since he'd always stop by the trailer. He gave us a few personal tours of all the cars and the man cave game room thing with all his guitars. Rick always seemed more excited for the guitars, You get Bob talking about the Cars and how he acquired them makes for a great day. Here's Skyler and I in the COPO, and my son in the GSX, fire that up too, that's what a muscle car is supposed to sound like. 😂 Bob's a Hoot when you get him going. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only spent about a hour with Bob and Rick together late one night. Like 9 or 10 or so. Hung out with Rick there several times, talking cars, guitars, music, life in general. He is a really great guy. Need to make time to get up there and see him. One year for the races they moved the Cobra and the Ford GT to the front room. He said he knew those were the two I was the most interested in.

A little snowmobile connection for those that don't know, Bob is married to Larry Rugland's sister.

Larry bought the pole building right down the road from where I lived and worked. It was Bill’s garage prior. Tainter Lake, WI. I think it was actually a Colfax address. Not sure if his shop is still there. Nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple years ago it got moved into a field and wrapped in a tarp. Grass growing up as high as the roof. Sad to see it that way, it will be junk in a few years I would think. Worst thing you can do is park a car on grass . Second thing is put a tarp on it. 🙄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The equipment and whatnot resides south of town now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Friend has what we call beerthirty every Saturday night that is an open invitation to have some adult beverages talk stupid with a common theme of muscle cars, racing and snowmobiles. The mix of guys that show up varies. Tonight the guy with the dark gray Competition Product shirt is the owner of Competition Products. He's not a Summit or Jegs but is well known nationally. He holds a Top Fuel license issued by Don Garlets as he ran Top Fuel in the 70's. He telling us there's still a number of hoarders of cars and motors such as Hemi's big block Chevys and Fords that somebody's going to make a lot of money once they pass away. The old catalog from him was when he ran Top Fuel. We asked if the prices were still good. Edited June 25, 2023 by Doug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
