Godspeed Bullet Bob

Todd Thanks for posting ( RIP Bob Reed). Years ago when Bob lived up North in Ohio we would race on Saturday nights at Norwalk back in the 70 & 80's. He drove a 1965 Plymouth Hemi car. This is very sad news. Gary

RIP Bob.

Race in Peace Bullet Bob

Man I love those old stories.
RIP, Mike

I meet him at Va Motorsport for a divisional race I think in 01-02. We talked about his engine-car and he said then the intake was the biggest bottleneck to making power. Very down to earth person, acted like he knew you all his life, just someone you wanted to be associated with. I knew this in the 15-20 minutes we talked. One more book of knowledge lost to us. Life, is too short.

I`m proud to say that I could call bob a friend .like others on here I could tell a few stories.once you met him you had a friend for life. even if you wouldn`t cross paths but every once in a while,he remembered you like his closest friend.god speed my friend you will be greatly missed

This Picture I took of Bob from Lancaster Dragway in Buffalo NY.... I think around 2007 During the National Anthem. RIP Bullet.

I've always been a bullet Bob fan.... this is some sad news! RIP, Bob.

This is so sad. I met Bob once when he was running his Cuda at Englishtown and I enjoyed talking with him. I always liked how he helped Ronnie Sox and built the last 68 Hemi Cuda Ronnie drove. So sorry to hear of this. RIP Bob. Ron

Sad to hear this. I went on youtube to see a video and found one with him, Ronnie Sox and Dick Landy all in it. That was kind of sad to see all at once and think about.

Great racer, may he RIP

Another legend is so true w/him and Landy and several others...........RIP...........

Bob's "Locomotion"
RIP #2450

Sad news......

I bought a 68' SS hood from him years ago and while I never met him in person, he was a good guy to deal with.

Bob was one of my stick racer heros. I was fortunate enough to talk with him a few times at the track and got an autographed T-shirt at the Nats about 10 years ago. So many of the old guys that carried the wisdom are leaving us lately. I hope we can remember what they told us and live long enough to hand it down to the next generation.

very sad

I met Bob in the early 1990s

A shop I was working at I was adjusting the carbs on a 413 long ram

( on his own) Bob came over and showed me a " trick" on adjusting the carbs

we all remember Bobs famous quote

" 4 speed, mans car"

Bob, you will be missed, thanks for the memories

I spoke with Bob at one of the first Chrysler Classics events at Norwalk ,he had the Silver Bullet ripping of 8.82s back to back like it was nothing with his cowboy boots on. I introduced myself and told him what car that I had there and bought a couple T- shirts off of him. Then I told him that I was told that he used to own my car at one time. He replied yes I know your car and yes I did own it. He said when I owned it was black and it was called Locomotion. My reply was I didn't believe all the stories then, but you just made me a believer. He said that cars got a kink in the RT. frame rail just in front of the K frame and little kink on the top of front Inner fender. I just grinned and yep it used to be yours! Sad to loose another legend and so much knowledge. Rest In Peace my friend and Gods speed!!
