    I hope the Big Man lets Barry stir up a little shit up there!

    He lived large and made his mark.

    RIP

    So sorry...just learned of my ole friend's passing today...known him since the 70's when we were both regulars at the old Gatlinburg Run. He always knew me and we talked for a good while at Louisville in 2010....always the discussion led the old days...May God be with him, his family and everyone at Lobeck's V8 shop...We must value each day that God gives us.....
     
  16. RIP Barry,you're gonna be missed buddy!
     
  17. Sad to hear.....May he rest in peace.

    Next time you hear thunder in the sky it may well be him doing a giant burnout up in heaven in a Deuce roadster. My prayers are with his family.

    Well said, and it did blow this little kids mind when it hit Taylorsville. My dad and I were in Taylorsville one day when the 40 was at the old Ford dealership. When we rolled up on it, what got you were the flames, then the rake. And I think it was just in Hot Rod a few months or so before that. I had tore the pic out and had it on my wall. Then , wammo , it was right in front of my eyes on the street. There were no traditional cars in this area before then. Everything was up in the air and had 70 series tires on them , restorods, and this 40 really shook things up. Thanks J.Wike:D
