I watched Barefoot Bob at Weedsport, Ransomville, Hagerstown, and a few other places. My favorite memory was during a Hub City 150 at Hagerstown, Maryland in the mid 90s. It was a daytime race on a Sunday. Old Bob and another man pulled in with a white Ford roll back flat bed. They had a couple of fuel jugs, jack. 4-way,and 3 spare tires stuffed inside the car. They rolled the car off, knocked off the win and headed back to N. Y. 5 grand richer. I admired Barefoot because he was the Chub Frank of the modified ranks. I.E. he made the most money by spending the least amount of money. And he reared up a fine wheelman of a son that has won a lot of big races even when some 4-mers had him written off. In fact he just won the WoO race Friday night at Richmond.
