Legendary Speedy Bill Smith Dies

If you were a racer in the 50s and 60s you remember this guy.

Bill Smith

The Legendary Bill Smith died Friday at the age of 84 -- he supplied my Dad and myself with untold amounts of parts and if you needed info they were the place to go.

His wife died at the beginning of the year so its up to the kids to keep the show on the road.

He signed a catalog for me at the PRI show years ago and I would always go over each year and speak to him. NICE guy and had maybe the largest racing engine collection in the world. Bought stuff from him for years. First person I ever saw on an electric scooter. Surprised it didn't have a flathead!

Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends. Never met him but I remember the name and the face. Almost sure got parts from him when I raced. Sounds too familiar.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
