Recently, I learned of the passing of "Wild Bill" Alexander. Am happy to have had the pleasure to meet him and get to know him a bit.
Here he is at what has to be one of his finest moments in his driving career when he drove the Pontiac powered AA/Fueler Earnie's Camera "Shutterbug" in 1962 to a win over the Greer/Black/Prudhomme AA/Fueler at Lion's Drag Strip in Wilmington, Ca.
This shot shows Bill checking the heads.
The next 2 are not pre 1990 vintage ( what this thread is intended for ) but, does tie into the above pics-
Here is Bill with the newly recreated Pontiac Shutterbug around 2004 at Bakersfield.
And here is Bill sitting in my then new Pontiac powered AA/Fuel Dragster in 2003.
Not the best pic but, the only one I have with him sitting in my car.
RIP Bill and thanks for your contribution to Pontiac performance.
