After Bruce Geisler, Bob Kehoe and Duane McKinney were the next LSR racers I met. Bob was partners with Duane on the #42 Sundowner Corvette which in the early 80's was the fastest production car anywhere.
Bob was also a member of the Bonneville 200 MPH Club.

God Speed Bob



I've added a picture I found of Bob Robe, Gale Banks, Duane McKinney & Bob Kehoe on the right at Bonneville in the early 80's probally right before another 240 MPH pass.

Bob was a really neat guy. I knew him more from the 4 Banger crowd. Sorry to hear this. Wayno
