I guess that I will be the first to post about this famous shop on Tuckahoe Road,Yonkers N.Y. home of SUPER PUMPKIN,SUPER GOAT and a lot of fast cars whether they be street or strip.Bill Casey built every car as if it was his own. He was way ahead of his time and to me personally he was not only the guy who helped me build my Chevelle but he was a good friend.After work all the guys from the area would hang out at Billy’s just to get a shot to see what he was doing either on the 57′,building someones motor or modifying things to make them work ala BILL Casey.When you needed any advice Bill would always be there to help out. Whether it be the right cam or proper rear set up he was always right on the money and when it came to payment for services rendered most of the times he would say don’t worry about it.When it came to Speed Parts he would always give us the “CASEY LIST”….. Go to Fred’s or go up to Bryne Bros and give it to Jerry.One time he sent me out to Jersey to Jessel’s shop to get my block done (427 l-88) with his list ….. the guys were amazed at what this Irish Guy from Yonkers,N.Y. wanted done but it all worked ,then again no one ever questioned the Great Bill Casey !!! I might be partial because I was a Yonkers Boy and ran out of Billy’s Shop but Drag Racing has 2 LEGENDS FROM YONKERS N.Y. ONE FRED EGLOFF AND THE OTHER MY FRIEND BILL CASEY. Bob Rizzi
