Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
 

When TC and me were racing the 68 Harrell funny car a couple years ago. I taked to Mr. Kimbell about Jenkins car. He told me he would NEVER race it again. I thought what a PUSSY. Thank god somebody else owns the car!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
 

There was actually a very good reason why Mr Kimball would never race the car again but it's not my position to announce it on a public forum. All I will say is that in a similar situation, if you walked in his shoes, you'd understand why. Heartbreaking story.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
 

I'd say most of us are familiar with the story, and it is indeed sad...but, it's also disheartening that the car never saw the track again, and was pretty much out of the public eye for so many years...lots and lots of history in that car.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
 

Mark, the car was raced after his brothers death. He sold the car and then bought it back. He tolded me the reason he didn't raced it was because of it was worth to much. No mention of his brother. I stand by what I said.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
 

I remember watching that car run at Cecil County and E-town when it was brand new in the summer of 1967. Always a crowd around it. Jenkins got to a point where he had to rope off the race cars to keep people back.

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
 

------Langes used to have a bunch of Hi-Po stuff. I went there in 67 to look at a new 435 Vette. While there a performance oriented salesman took me over to a Camaro with big-block emblems on it. I had only seen small block Camaros up to that point, but this car was a 396/375. To add to this the car had headers and an extra gearset in the trunk. The sales guy said that they came delivered in the car but I obviously dont have any way to verify that today. I dont think the car had one other option besides the 4-speed and engine and probably posi!!!.......Bill S
