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.

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.

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.

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.
