    I knew of Bob's reputation from my teen years. When I moved to Tulsa after getting out of the Air Force, I had the pleasure of meeting him when we wer both active in the Experimental Aircraft Association, Chapter 10, in Tulsa.
    Bob also built a homebuilt aircraft that won Grand Champion Homebuilt back in the '80's at Oshkosh, the equivelent of winning the U.S. Nationals. Champions are Champions in whatever endeavor they choose.
    Godspeed, Bob...

    I'll put my CREITZ pedal to good use

    Those parts, wheels, Manifolds etc. were made by Bobs brother....Jim Creitz, who was at the services, I have worked with Jim 2 times in my lifetime, he was as sharp as anyone I ever knew, and was successful in the early days of Nascar
