"Broadway" Bob the best-known racing promoter event organizer and track owner in the history of drag racing was inducted into the Drag Racers Hall of Fame on March 14, of 1996.
Bob was also inducted into the Jet Car Hall of Fame. Bob has been known to tip a few beers at the racetrack, so he would do things that no sober person would do. Like sit on the front of Doug Roses Green Mamba Jet Car with a beer in one hand, while 25 foot flames were coming out jet cars tail pipe. The fans just loved it. They would go absolutely crazy.
Bob single-handedly transformed the socially unacceptable sport of the 1950's drag racing into a popular entertainment medium in the conservative Midwest. His "Olympics of Drag Racing" has survived since 1957 as the third oldest event in drag racing. Highly popular with his fans, Broadway Bobs showmanship and personal contact with his audience's indeed legendary among all forms of racing.
In 1995 after 40 years Broadway sold the legendary Great Lakes Drag Way and retired when diagnosed with cancer. Bob has fully recovered now.
