Bob George Racing "The end of an era"

Now you'll have more time to wax that John Deere tractor!!!

Oh, & your wife's Jeep too!!

good luck team BGR, I think my retirement is getting closer

Good luck Bob! Thanks for the help and info over the years! I am sure AJ will do a good job! Tony..You are retiring from teaching?

I am very energized and excited about this venture. With Bob at my side I know this will be very successful and a lot of fun along the way. I am proud to carry on the tradition of BGR.

Wish you both the best on your new adventures. Bob just don't retire from here. I would miss your wisdom and humor.
Jim

Good choice, Bob. You've been burning the candle at both ends for a long time, it's time. You and I've talked about it often......the choice of AJ to run the shop is a good one!
Congrats, AJ!

Nothing but the best wishes for you Bob! You are one of the great ones! Hope one day to be able to sit down with you and have a cold one with you. I was in Philly over Xmas but you're almost on the other side of Penn. Dave

Good luck

Good luck to both of you. Ron

Congratz Aj on yer new hat

Bob,,,,,,are you tired or retired??????

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 ?

Myself as well as the gang of "Misfits"will still be working at the shop and racing.AJ is taking the helm to insure that Curt's legesy will continue for future generations.Many feel that BGR's contributions to the Mopar community is vital and must remain available to racers and Mopar enthusiast.We will always be available to those who need help.
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".
Respectfully Bob

I opened this thread thinking you were going to close your doors Bob

Nice to know your just passing the Tig Torch to A.J., he'll do a fine job carrying on and promoting the BGR tradition.

Congrats to everyone and best wishes for the future at BGR

Good luck to both of you, in your new ventures

Good...A.J. is nicer to me.. Good luck with retirement Bob

With Aj at the helm it looks like business as usual for a long time. Continuing Curts legacy for the future generations of BGR racers, family and friends.

Enjoy your retirement, Bob!

Does this mean the Infamous Hog Pen out back of the shop is no longer??

Best of luck Bob - kick back and enjoy watching the next generations success!

Congratulations Bob, well deserved.

Congratulations, AJ, I'm excited for you, brother!

Bob - It was alarming to read the headlines that you were possibly closing, glad to hear that things will continue at BGR and that you will still be hanging around. 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 !

Thanks everyone
The "Hogpen" will remain for all those who deserve the experience.

Gonna' do any more "Hog Pen" T-shirts??

Hey Eric, Brianna treats me better than AJ!! (just kidding AJ!!)

I know you'll do a fantastic job!!

Well this is certainly a positive development...

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 know you can't remember what happened yesterday but you helped me and many others when I was 16 in 1967. Nothing has changed. 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.

Ditto....I got his personal cell phone when he called me back on my order...PM me and its yours....LOL

Well you both know how the Kelly family feels about you both. AJ you are already doing a great job! You guys have always been there when we needed help.BGR is in great hands. Bob now you will have time to get a patent on that engine stand that you built when you were in the first grade ! ha

Was it for steam or hit and miss engines?

Bob enjoy your retirement, you are one of a few guys on here I'd like to sit down with and hear some stories.
