In the 1970’s Bert himself was a member of the Stockbridge Mud Runners and raced ice cars of his own. He also enjoyed his daily cruises around the Rez and his old stomping grounds of Morgan Siding. He was a NASCAR fan and loved shooting pool and throwing horseshoes. His love for Chevy trucks shined through; his other loves included being an over the road and dump truck driver, music and North Star Casino.
