Buckys' problems in Belle Rose were the result of a problem, which had gone unnoticed, with a part that had been outsourced. Ultimately, Bucky is responsible for the legality of his car. In reality , it's not possible for him to inspect everything. The recent performance gains of the "King Cuda" are the result of hard work by those involved, not because the screws in the throttle shafts were 3/32" too short. Bucky has poured his heart and soul into SS/AH racing for nearly 20 years. His respect for the class, the cars, the people and the history of it is profound. His honesty and integrity are without question by people who know him.
