\u201cI have often categorized Mosport as the most exciting and challenging track of all,\u201dsays Bob Tullius. \u201cIn fact it is my personal favorite. Having won six out of the seven times that I raced there may have something to do with the affection for the place however!\u201d In Tullius\u2019s extensive racing career he accomplished great things on all the great race courses\u2014Le Mans, Sebring, Daytona, Riverside, Laguna Seca\u2014yet he considers Mosport Park his favorite. Though his name comes up most often with cars built by British Leyland, he also raced the Howmet turbine car at Le Mans and Watkins Glen, alongside ex-BOAC pilot Hugh P.K. Dibley.Tullius won numerous championships in Triumphs and, after forming Group 44, he and his team won just about every honor one could name. Bob was inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame in the spring of 2014, and the SCCA Hall of Fame this February 21. To categorize Bob as only a race driver would be inaccurate, however, because he also became an aviator later in life, and for his 60th birthday acquired a P-51D Mustang that he flew for 13 years. He later donated the aircraft to England\u2019s Royal Air Force Museum in London. Contributing editor John R. Wright recently spoke with Tullius about his life and times<\/em>.<\/p>\n
