From NorCal racer Chuck Tannlund:
"I see that you would like to learn the
history of the Webster Specials.
Mike Ruckman worked with us at Huffaker
Racing in the 60's until he left to take an offer from Marvin ( Web)
Webster. He and Web and Web's son Marv ran first a hobby shop building
the race cars and later as a manu- facturer of replacement gears for Hewland
gearboxes.
Web had BIG bucks as he had invented
the transducer in WWII and collected handsomely on the royalties and patents.
Web died and the company went to his son Marv, but then he died prematurely
and Mike wound up with the business." |
