Damn this is sad.... A role model for anyone on how to run a facility and treat their customers. Have attended many an event / race at NRP and that guy was top notch. RIP Bill!!!! "Some things are better left unsaid... usually it's the S**T I blurt out first. | |||

Bill will always be remembered as a warm, giving human being. An all around good person & an amazing business mind. The entire family has followed his example & carries on the tradition. He will be sorely missed. He was truly an inspiration to all that he met & whose lives he had touched. God speed Bill. | |||

Sad to hear of his passing. He retired to Riggins, Idaho which was about 75 miles from where I grew up. Nicole and I spent a few days there after our wedding. It's a Beautiful but rugged area. I seen an ISP report he was involved in a UTV crash only accessible by off road vehicles. The area is known for white water rafting, salmon fishing, jet boats and hunting.    | |||

He was a great guy to talk to. I`ve been racing at his facility since 1994. I`ve watched it changed over the years. Everything there is state of the art. I remember in 2016 i pulled in and saw a guy changing garbage bags in the 55 gallon drums that are all over the track. It was him. I pulled up to him and asked him why are you doing this job. He smiled at me and shook my hand and said, he wanted an easy job for a change. What a great guy. They broke the mold after him.  Worlds Quickest And Fastest 71 Cutlass On The Planet Earth | |||

The drag racing world definitely lost a good man with Bill Bader. He knew how to treat the customer, be it a spectator or a racer. I am thankful to have won the 1996 IHRA World Nationals race in Super Rod and have winner's circle pictures with him. He will be missed. Godspeed sir.
