        Paulies recolections:
        Bob ran the “KANDY KUDA” in SS/B in late 68′ and 69′. He switched to Pro/Stock in
        late 69′. The “KANDY KUDA” Barracuda set the NHRA Pro/Stock (ET and MPH Record) in
        October 69′ at Connecticut Dragway (East Haddam, CT)….(10.09 @ 135.50)
        The record held up for 4 months, until Grumpy Jenkins broke it by running a
        9.98 @ 138.67 at the 1970 Winternationals (February 70′ @ Pomona).
        Jenkins broke the record with his 1968, 427 tunnel-ram Camaro.
        I think the “KANDY KUDA” may have been at Dover in late 68′ or early/mid 69′.
        Do not remember him running any Pro/Stock events their in 70′.Had A Pro Maverick Too

        Heres A topic we have all about him
