Here's Bob having a spirited conservation with Gilby's former crew chief,
Tommy Delago, caption is self explanatory.
Here's a shot of Bob's favorite race car, the 1972 Romeo Palamedies built Vega that Bob worked on way back when. This car was sold to "Nitro" Nick Boninfante who put a '74 Vega nose on it and ran it at the US male. This car currently sits on the floor of Don Garlits' museum painted up in Jungle livery.
Jungle's head shot from his 1976 press kit.

Here's a shot of Jungle Pam posing at Maple Grove in 1971 with Bob and White Peter behind her putting air in the tires.
Here's Bob joining Jungle, Pam, White Peter and Charlie Tuna in the winner's circle at maple Grove after winning the 1971 Dutch Classic.
Here's Jungle, Jerry Lewis and Derick Reeves, the MD Poster Child, posing for a promotional photo in front of Jerry's Beverly Hills home in 1976.
Here's another shot from 1971 of Jungle's car torn all apart at Englishtown before "Crazy Eddie's Night of Thrills" That's Bob as a hippie and Pete "White Peter" White under the car checking the bearings.
Here's a very rare shot of Jungle's 1975 car with the bamboo style lettering. Jungle didn't like it and only ran the car in this livery a few times. This car was sold to Bruce Larson then Chuck Etchells and it's been recently been restored by Jim Basley and will be on display at all the nostalgia races this year.
This is what happened to that "Missing Monza" It was turned into the car that JJ ran for a brief while before selling it to Bruce Larson who sold it to Chuck Etchells. It's currently in the hands of Jim Basley who's done a masterful restoration and painted it himself in the "Bamboo" lettering style that Jungle hated.
Bob's new and improved Mammogram Machine attracted a lot of females on Halloween 2008.
