THE roy & bob SHOW... an HH exclusive!
I was about to see if I could get an interview and talk about the street
legal piece when all hell broke loose. Roy Hill (who was pitted right
beside Bob) came charging over saying stuff like "let's race boy",
"don't be whining to me now", and a host of other choice comments.
Then it came over the PA. It seems the Bad one took Hill's school a
year or two ago, and had been sort of bragging ever since that if the
good ole' boy ever showed up here with his mini-motored truck, he would
have his doors blown off by his big bad bright red El Camino from hell...or
something along those lines... c'mon, I'm a writer.
Now Mr. Hill has done this, oh...a few times before, so quicker than
you could say sucker, the North Carolina boyz had the Oregon
crew eating out of their hands. It was a sight to see. Though Bad and
his guys put up a strong front, you could tell they were rattled. "When
do we race?" asked Bob. "RIGHT NOW BOY" screamed Hill..."LET'S
RACE". Now if you are familier with his radical southern drawl,
somewhat obnoxious style, and big shit-eating grin, you have a pretty
good idea how intimidating this man can be. I stood for nealry half
an hour around these pits witness to a match race challange like I have
never seen before. It was classic.
The race was very anti-climactic, with Hill taking fun bets with the
fans in the lanes, while Bob tried hard to be calm and cool.
Bob WHO?
They left together, but by 60 feet it was all over as Hill cruised
to a 7.91/170.71 ahead of Bob's 8.08/168.35 in the right lane.
I heard the looser had to pay out in cash to a charity whatever
his loosing MPH was, so Bob went home 168 bucks down. Now I must ad
I do not know Bob, he's probably a real nice guy, but I wasn't about
to go up and try to interview him after this deal, maybe next time,
cause his Chevy is pretty damn nice!
Roy on the other hand... well just stick a mike in his face and he'll
try to sell you more stuff than Carlson. He did a bunch of commentary
here and was tons of fun to listen to. Would I take his school and put
up with this kind of thing? Makes one realize he teaches more than just
driving skills. If you wanna be a big-time player, you gotta be introduced
to the way the big game is played doncha boy!
Ya, we know...
