I want to share the passing of Bob Drake. Bob was a long time member of this page and very involved many years ago in the success of the page. Bob has a great collection and opened his house up many times before the Peotone swap meet. Anyone has any stories or pics feel free to post!!! https://www.schrefflerfuneralhomes.com/m/obituaries/robert-drake-28/Memories
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Sad to see Bob have such a difficult extended illness. Rest In Peace, Bob. Sympathy and prayers for his wife, Karen, and family.
He was a big part of Oldgas.com in past years and is already missed.
