Billy Meyer

[none]

Billy doing that burnout was beyond cool. I gotta feeling he coulda muscled it right down thru there too

 

[Butch]

Any idea on how long it's been since he drove that car, I'd have to think he's done a few practice burnouts lately.

 

[Fireball]

He said he had done practice burnouts earlier in the week.

Growing up watching Billy go from stupid fast Karts to driving FCs at 16, I've been a lifelong fan. That whole deal made my night! Just a badass dude who has done a lot for the sport, and is still contributing.

 

[Cliff]

Long haired Billy at OCIR, winning and everyone wants to know who is this kid. heh

 

[Randy]

Anyone remember the story about Billy Meyer driving a rental car one night through the pits at the original Irwindale Raceway with Steve Plueger riding shotgun, and somehow the handle of a floor jack ended up going through the back window of the rental car? Full disclosure, I saw it happen.

 

[T.Smith]

Admirable, but he ain't no Broadway Bob Metzler.

they could of had Berzerko Bob guiding him back naked! There is a video of that out there somewhere

 

[Butch]

Unfortunately
There'll never be another Broadway Bob.

 

[Just Paul]

I thought it was bad ass! I know Mike Guger is normally the crew chief on the car Billy used for that burnout, and it had to be special for them to do that together since they worked together back in the 80's.

Admirable, but he ain't no Broadway Bob Metzler.

Yeah, I just can't see many people riding on the nose of a jet car while it's moving, holding on with one hand, and a beer in the other.

Not only that, people forget he took a ride in Art Arfon's Super Cyclops.

 

[Butch]

Yes, but you're forgetting about the barbeque Chicken also.

 

[aakar]

Let's not forget Bob's legendary battles with Robosaurus!!

Us, Al Dapozzo and Fred Mandoline were sitting in staging lanes for a couple of hours waiting to run after the Robosaurus bounced off the guardrail, ripped off a hydraulic line and blew hydraulic fluid all over the track. I started calling it Raunch-o-saurus after that.

I remember that day. Tony do you remember Benny the Bomb ? I don't know where Broadway Bob found him, but he was definitely not all there!

 

[Butch]

1st time seeing Benny the Bomb was at Detroit Dragway. About 1976-77

Lol, yes. I remember him being really dazed after one of his stunts.

There use to be a guy named Burn Box Bob as well. He would work the water box with the red/green gloves. I would see him at Cordova sometimes too.
