Sorry to hear your news, Johnny. I remember you often mentioning Bob in your posts and Southern Nites series.
He and I started racing together at The Crazy 8 Speedway in Warner Robins Ga. Many memories I have of those days with Bob. Now thats all I have of him are memories, and a few photos.
Johnny, you know everyone of us who ever met Bob is sadden by his death. I remember that first time I met him when we all got together for lunch to talk about a Middle Georgia Raceway Reunion. He was as kind to me as anyone I have ever met and I had only known him an hour. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and to all his many, many friends. God bless his memory because, as you said, your memories are all you have now, but I'm betting those memories are some really great ones.
This is the Bob Moore I remember,always a smile whether you outrun him or not,which was seldom --------------------- memories
This will be a lasting face in my memory. For those of you who did not know Bob he was a great man and fierce competitor. He would run you hard but always clean, and afterwards a smile was waiting . He could tell stories all nite long,some that I taped, and most times no one left during.
Maybe some of you that ran in the 70s will remember this car racing on the Ga dirt tracks ..Here is a replica of the Vega that was owned by S&M Racing and driven by Bob Moore back in the early '70's. It was so hated by their competitors that it earned the nickname "That Damn Vega". Yeah he was that dang tough to beat..
