Robbie said that he didn't want to go either, but the guy running it said that he might as well, since the stuff had to GO. Robbie sold a 1970 Plymouth Super Bird to get the money to buy as much Hemi stuff as he could.
The Hemi stuff used to belong to Richard Petty.
Yes, tonite, I put my hand on a 1969 Petty NASCAR Hemi. (and the helmet that Nick wore while driving it)
As I mentioned on the upcoming meets thread, I WORE Nicks helmet today at The 'harvest AX!!

I took the camera to Robbies house to show him what he missed today. He went inside and came back out with a trophy that Nick had won in 1978. It was for 1st place in a demo derby. He asked If I remembered that derby. I told him that I did. Nick beat ME for that trophy!
I took second that day! He was driving a 66 Imperial and I had a 67 Newport.
He managed to get 6 INCHES out of the Imp after our last 'contact'. I couldn't move because the driveshaft was jambed 12 inches into the tailshaft.
That derby is fodder for another 'long' story!!
Robbie told me to put that trophy with the helmet on the retirement shelf.

I LOVE that guy!!
