Big Willie passed away this morning.

He is best known as the driving force behind The International Brotherhood of Street Racers and ran the Terminal Island drag strip.

Sad loss! Only ever made it to TI a couple of times but had fun. Willy was a legend as far as I was concerned many years before I hit the bumpiest track in SoCal. RIP, Willy.

Bummer. He was a So Cal icon in the drag racing scene. Rest in peace, Big Willie.
