Re: Jungle Jim's Match Racer
I understand he had a drinking problem and was drunk when he had the accident

No one has to come to this fourm to back anything a family member had happen to them. He is more than welcome to come post and tell his stories about Jungle Jim and share any pics of Jims race cars though.

Re: Jungle Jim's Match Racer
I agree with Jeff's thoughts. Also, it's refreshing to hear the 'intentional' rumour put to rest.
