BIG WILLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sunroofgtx]

Guys, just thought of an idea. Willie does not have a computer. He has seen VERY few pictures of himself and Tomiko. If anybody has any cool pics, post them. I'll try to print what I can, and we can make a big photo album to send and pick up his spirits. If you have hi-res or nice ones, please email them to me at  sunroof71@msn.com  This will really be a big suprise.  I'll make a new thread.

One of them.  There are three different versions you can get that represent his rides.

Thanks

They closed that down years ago now {or it was last I heard anyway}, mostly people down there are true "illegal street racing" now... Terminal Island was really fun back in the day, It was better than some organised IHRA & NHRA events at times, well not really, but way more laid back & fun... Lot's of gambling & high dollar grudge matches... "I think" Terminal Island is still undeveloped military base, it's been quite a while since being in that particular are of SoCal, I still live in NorCal, just don't travel down south do the street racing/grudge match stuff type of thing, any longer...

Big Willie passed away on 05/19/12 at 5:00am.

We've only talked with him on the phone, but sure wish we could have met him in person. When we sent him some of the 1:18 cars we provided him with, he called back a few weeks later saying he needed more. He told us he gave away all that he had received to the local church for the kids. Big man, big heart, right up to the end. Now he's with Tomiko again, and my he RIP. A true american legend...

Glad I seen him at the Nats a year or two ago. Seemed like a nice enough guy.
