Re: big Willie Robinson III, sort of off topic but still Mopar



I do remember him.
That was a long time ago.
Early 70's?
I remember reading of him in the car magazines of the day.

I just read that this guy died a while ago. Seems to be some sort of
marginal  figure that never really got his moment, or maybe he didn't
want it. Its hard to find much on him......pretty obscure. I remember
a street racing scene with a Dodge Daytona from that movie "2 Lane
Blacktop", and guys in jackets with patches and a credit at the end
about "Big Willie".   Does anybody here remember him and the
Brotherhood of Street Racers. Seems he was a mo-par guy. One  obit
blurb I found in the NY Times said he was a green beret in Vietnam,
and somehow organized a drag-strip with the blessings of the LAPD and
the City of Los Angeles. I know most of you guys aren't from the LA
area but i thought I would ask.
