Photo ID # a08.01.04__00_BUZ_MID_0077_1
Car #: #00
Driver (s) : Buzzie Reutimann
Location: Middletown, NY
Date: 1977
Photographer: Paul Irving

Comments: I had an opportunity to ask Buzzie what driver he most admired...  Thinking I'd hear names like Cagle, Ploski, or Schnieder or who ever...   Buzzie's answer:  His Dad.  Said his dad could build anything from just about anything...  Told me the story of how he once took an old washing machine engine and figured out a way to make a lawnmower out of it! 

Looks to me like some of that must have rubbed of on Buzzie as this picture shows.  At a time when people had given up on coupes, Buzzie had this wide body coupe that actually looks pretty aero friendly, combined with just enough downforce provided by the well designed inner panels.

12/20/05 Rich Smith I was just a kid in the 60's and Buzzy was always my favorite along with Will Cagal, Jackie Evens, Rags Carter, and Pee Wee.
