That's just crazy! Jim rathman Chevrolet in Melbourne Florida. I stopped in there And talked to them a d and they asked me if I knew Bobby Allen. I said no not. Really but my brother built some engines he ran. Outta gaerte engines shop. I had no idea they had a connection. Damn it .I should have checked into better. I lost 5 years of my sons life because I came back to Indiana. But I probably learned more in that 5 years I could have ever learned in my life. I learned how to be me. Thank you God .

Grew up in So-Calif & have a great friend from San Berdo name of Dave West. Dave & I raced together & ran the streets together for many years. He is a Master race mechanic who worked for Ed Pink & later for Keith Black. I always since about 1980 was a Kinser fan & always proclaimed him the best. Dave would always shake his head & say "Nope, Bubby Allen is the best" don't know why, but he always called him Bubby & so for quite awhile I thought Bubby was his name! 😂 Dave was a high strung guy & always kinda grumpy, but the happiest I ever saw him was when Scruffy Won Knoxville 😃!! I certainly got an ear full of "I told you so" after that night 😆 Haven't seen Dave since I left Cali & that life style in 92, but I hope he's doing well 🙏 Great to see this interview with The Legendary Scruffy Allen, really happy he's still kick'n! Thanks for posting this 💪😎👍

One of my favorite memories of watching Bobby race was the early 80s Ohio sprint speed weeks at atomic speedway and it was a nasty nite with rain showers off and on and all the heavy hitters were there at 2 o'clock in the morning on the low side he beat them all couldn't have been happier a very popular win the stands were all off their feet never seen anything like it

Fascinating interview. Bobby definitely needs a biography published, he's done and seen it all. Thanks for sharing.

I grew up in Miami and remember Bobby well. I raced karts along with Bobby and watched him race the 1/2 midgets on Sundays on a track they set up on an empty parking lot on LeJune Road across from the airport. We recall his Dad, Joe, was doing everything he could to groom Bobby to be a big time racer. Bobby never won the Indy 500, but a lot of big time racers never did either. These interviews are golden and I wish only the best for Shark Racing.
