Jimmy, as I recall, took the drive train (Bobby Warren Horsepower) out of that car and put it in a blue late model Camaro. He could go real fast in qualifying by sliding the clutch a lot but couldn't cut a light. Rumor was that he changed the clutch setup for eliminations, slowed down and usually lost with a bad light. I never watched close enough to verify it but he was rarely seen in the later rounds.

Jimmy was unique and entertaining to talk to. I remember one year at Englishtown we ran the first round in the dark. I drew Joe Scott in round one. Jimmy told me I'd catch him in high gear and to pump the gas on him and lead him through the finish line. I've always been one to run my own race but in the end that's exactly what happened. I saw him at the scales after the run and he said "I told you that's what would happen. I knew it was you when I heard you pumping the gas."
Anyone know where he is now???
