Bob Tarzwell , Pixie racing raced the moke and was very successful

Back in 2008 l agreed to buy the moke from Bob but without the monster race engine, Bob was living in NY State close to Watkins Glen at the time

Before l could get down to pick it up, l took the BIG HIT and for a week l didn’t even know my own name but l had the moke on my mind and it really stressed me that l couldn’t keep my end of the deal, Bob was very understanding but after l was feeling better l put Donnie on it and it all worked out

Except as it was a race car it had no title, so l was able to jump in and get it titled for Donnie in Ontario

Then Rob bought it from Donnie, couldn’t have gone to a better home

End of saga

That Moke was at Mid-Ohio for a regional event sometime around when the first Run-Offs were there.  Dad talked to Bob for an hour what seemed.  Awesome build from what I remember.

If im not mistaken Big Al was going to buy it but fell ill with his heart attack back in around 2010 or so. I believe Rob Wolfe in Wisconsin now owns it.

Bob has returned to Canada because of health issues. Heart.
