moparx "Butt Crack Bob" Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 19,408 north of coder	congrats bob ! a.j. will be a great legacy promoter ! i'm just disappointed i never got to meet you or any of your guys[and i'm not all that far away], but my retirement is closing fast, and if my health holds out, hopefully, my humpback project[of 40 some years] will kick into high gear to get at least motating under it's own power. this will require many engine questions to meet the goals i have for it, which i only hope you can provide some wisdom to share with me so i don't embarrass myself too bad. the only thing that i bet many want to know is this : what kinda shenanigans are planned for out back in the hog pen ?

I retired from the heavy construction business after over 50 years,but my love for the sport will never allow me to walk away drag racing.With AJ running BGR it will give me more time to enjoy myself.I can also take the time needed to help Donny Martik campaign his 65 Cornet. As always our main focus is to insure that Curt's legesy of "racers helping racers,paying it forward" carrys on and the sport we all love continues.Personally I'am both humbled and honored by the respect and support that we at BGR have recieved over the years and hope that everyone's experience with BGR was recieved with that same respect and support.We hold in high regard all our friends,racers and "extended family members".

I can never thank you enough for all that you have done for our race car venture! Best of LUCK in your 2nd retirement and I believe that A J will do a great job of carrying on the BGR tradition !

Last time I was there some guy had parked his 67 roller there for months taking up valuable shop space, people weren't putting tools back where they belong, and the dogs had taken over all inbound mail shipments. Seriously though, congrats to you both! Let the good times roll

I wish I knew Curt but I'm sure he was like his Dad in this same way. I personally am eternal grateful for your contributions to the Mopar performance world. AJ will do a great job taking the reins. It's not the end of an Era my friend it's the beginning of a legacy. Many thanks to you and best wishes to AJ.
