Mumm Brothers Gallery | ||
Weve developed many friends in our years of racing Spec Racers...but only a select few have what it takes to be a Mumm Brother. To our friends who have not yet achieved this status....work on your attitude. Below are the Brothers... to the best of my memory. | ||

Brother: Jack Meyer Its taken me a while to deal with this. Our great friend Jack Meyer passed away in April, 2000. The picture you see here is from a hero card Gregg Woods created for Jacks remembrance. This card, like Jack, was a piece of work. I still miss Jack.

Brother: Warren
Stilwell Many dont know that Warren
is a trained machinist. Here hes shown doing a precision alignment.
Warrens attitude may not be quite bad enough....but in my mind, he personifies
bad....cause he never tells anyone, anything. Status: Contingent -- this continued winning thing has got to stop. |

Trainee: Bob
Boudinot (AKA Spaz) Shown here with Il Maestro at his side. Bob is the creator of Turkey in a Bucket. This marvelous invention can not only feed you, but provides a quick and easy way to rid your lawn of pesky crab grass (or any other flammable item). The sign on the tail of his car demonstrates the kind of pride we look for in a Brother. Status: Hes next. |

Trainee: Dave
Hopple FF racer, but in his favor are: attitude, humor (biting), and race car make:Piper. Shown here lounging in the Mumm Shop (typical). Knows too much, so we either make him a Brother or kill him....not an easy decision. Status: Ready for the survival course. |
