Him being such a big Chebbbie hero, a lot of people don't know that he made a name for himself racing Mopars....

Chrysler even used him in their ads................

IIRC, he considered himself the top drag racing driver/engine builder for Mopar and wanted to be their sole recipient of factory supported drag racing. He was obviously rejected, never forgave Chrysler Corp, and the rest is history.

 

 

I remember watchiing "Wild Willie Borsch" (I believe that's the spelling) at Suffolk VA, around 1962, AA/FA, he was steering with his left hand and his right hand was beating on the side of the car, like he was flogging a horse.
