TUBBY USED TO BE MY NEIGHBOR MANY YEARS AGO. I WAS A SMALL CHILD BUT CAN REMEMBER THAT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT AND DAY HE AND HIS FRIENDS WOULD WORK ON HIS CAR. AT THAT TIME I KNEW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT RACECARS AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULD BE OUT AT 2 OR 3 A.M WORKING ON IT. FROM ALL THE STORIES I HAVE HEARD ABOUT TUBBY I GUESS THAT IS WHAT IT TOOK TO WIN RACES AND HAVE A FAST CAR. NOW THAT I AM GROWN AND MARRIED TO A RACECAR DRIVER I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND EVERY REASON HE HAD FOR WHY HE DID IT.
This is Terry "Tubby" Gravel #2 and this picture was taken Oct. 2, 1988 at Beech Bend Raceway as Tubby took the win.

Randy, I think Tubby raced in the sportsman class.
TUBBY WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST
DRIVERS TO HAVE EVER TURN A
WHEEL AT BBR!!! AND THIS WAS ONE
OF THE BEST SPORTSMAN CARS TO
EVER RACE HERE!!!
