Last I knew he was focusing on his daughters junior dragsters and putting the "Wild" fully into it. I'm trying to remember if I saw them at Norwalk last year??
416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!

We last saw Bill and Gina and family about 9 months ago when we delivered their usual huge order of Girl Scout cookies to them. All was well. Super nice people. I believe they were selling one of the Jr's and doing something with the other, or maybe building another? Admittedly, I don't recall exactly.

Hasn't been on in a long time. Sent him a pm some time back to see if he had any interior pics of his Charger but no reply. Not a problem as I know I don't get on sometimes for several weeks and my kids are grown. Glad to hear he's OK. Tim

Don dropped me a line on Jr Dragster Plus and mentioned you guys were wondering about me so I figured I'd drop in real quick.
I'm very much alive and I ain't playing poker so hopefully I wont go the way of my name sake anytime soon.
Mike, is Anna still selling? I would prefer to give my order to her as I really appreciate her work ethic. As her father, You should be very proud of her.
Gus, You should have stopped. I will always make time. But yeah, Kaitlin has been on a tear this latter half of the season and ended up runnering up for that event. Came down to one hell of a pedal fest in the finals. Kinda wish I at the 1/8 th to be able to watch them.
Shhe also made it down to the quarter finals at the Eastern Conf Finals in Bristol this year. Ended up going just this side of red in the semis but the way she was cutting lights it wasn't a huge shock.
If your interested, this vid was shot by a friend of mine.
Kiatlin is in the White car with the blue flames on the nose.

What he was about to say was she was "TRIP ZIP ON THE TREE"
Here's the time slip break down for that pass

Congrats on your daughters success in the junior circuit. My son and I have been involved helping a family of junior racers in our area any way we can. Its a great way to get involved if it is what the kids want to do. The family we help actually traveled back to Bristol last year from Vegas. Said the racing was tough for sure so you must be a great crew chief setting thing up and she is obviously a great driver. Enjoy it and her all you can...

Never met the guy , but I knew he was a stand up guy when I posted a transmission issue and he said he was willing to help me out. Enjoy your time with your daughter. Spend 15 years with my 2 sons doing Cub and Boy Scouts. Now have 2 sons that are Eagle Scouts.

I can neither confirm nor deny this information, but last I heard, he secured a new career as an exotic male dancer at a local " undocumented" establishment, and was moving on up the pole, errr, ladder, to success.Again, this was second hand knowledge , but from a good source....the Blue Oyster is alive and well.......:)....but from all accounts, he seems to be the " money man" in the operation.....I am wishing him the best in his new career.....but in all seriousness Bill, glad your doing well, and taking care of family is #1.You got it right.
