TAR BABE, THE BUILD
deano:
What I really enjoy about these particular photos is that they were taken just before I began to hang around, and then worked at F&A. From what Ron told me today, there is a lot more to come from this era.... Before Tar Babe was black, it was gray.

Gregg Bunch phoned me last night and asked to borrow my slide converter. Christie took it to her office today as it is only a couple of blocks from Gregg's house. I know that Ron has provided him with photos, sooooooooooooooooo maybe he is involved in the project. ;) ;) ;) ;)

Hello John,
great pictures!
Do you know where the name of the car came from?
Maybe some nice stories about it :)
cheers, Peter

Funny you asked the question as Ron Fleming and I were discussing this Sunday at the DKP Christmas Cruise. I'd remembered that Ron named Tar-Babe and also The Underdog. Ron confirmed that my remembrance was correct.
Years ago I remember his saying that "Everyone roots for the UNDERDOG".

I think it was in 04 or 05 when I visited Tar-Babe prior to it's rescue from Mexico City that I talked to Ron about the car. When he says the car's name, he says, "Tar-Baby".
