Does anyone have the picture of Willie going through the lights at Lions or Irwindale with the front tires off the ground and the rear tires smoking?

Or.....clips of Willies' notorious guardrail to centerline run at the 68 Winternationals?

On the point of Willie being fearless, I've read in a couple of sources that Willie was narcoleptic. This is the sleep disorder which puts the sufferer effectively into a paralyzed sleep state when put into stressful or highly emotional situations.
One cool cucumber I guess.

According to Willie's competitors (Joe Mondello, Dave Hough, Leon Fitzgerald, etc), he loved the challenge. His partner and car owner, Al Marcellus said Willie was ruff and tumble and never gave up.
He was indeed one of the best out of SoCal in the 60's. ![]()
