Curt,

Nice PR on your dad in the latest Drag Review.

Some of the young guys have no idea how he was (and still is, in my mind) a bad dude back in the "good ole days."

I never knew you guys used to own the Jimmy Morton/Jeff Taylor car.

Tell the whole family I said hello.

Thanks Mr. Doyle, I appreciate the nice comments about my dad.

Yeah, that was his favorite race car. He talks about it all the time!

Everyone here says hello and hopes to see you soon

Spell's trailer was not a converted horse trailer. It was a car trailer built by a horse trailer company. It was sold locally and several different people owned it.

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

Maybe so but Jimmy carried a bunch of "Horses" around in it....LOL. That thing flew.

That picture of Jimmy Spell;s car was taken at Blaney Dragstrip in Elgin S.C.. Doe's anyone else have any pictures that were taken there.

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

I wish I had pictures of Jimmy's Hardtop "The Hustler II", the last one he had. I really enjoyed watching him and others here in Div 2 go after the SS/L record. By the way he still has "We Bad" on the back of his camaro. Also, Blaney, in July was the hottest place on earth!!! We literally though the engine fell out, it slowed down so much from the heat! Good times though. Scott W. what happened to you Chevy 2 post car after you? Did it go to Jimmy Bridges or Ronnie Smith?

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

The picture of my car, post 22 in this thread, was also at Blaney Drag Strip.

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

I sold the SS/K Car to Ronnie Smith and I sold the SS/L car to another racer in Texas and haven't seen it since. As you probably know, Jimmy's Corvette is my old SS/A SS/B car. I can't remember who I sold it to initially or how many people owned or drove it before Jimmy bought it.

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

Scott loved that corvette is that the same one that Dwight drove.

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

No, mine was an '67 L88 that ran in SS/A and SS/B. Ronny Traffanstedt owned it long before I did. Dwight ran his car as a 427/425 in SS/C. He may have run other classes with it as well.

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

Well in that case liked both cars. Where did your vette end up.

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

Jimmy Bridges

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

I believe Bridges purchased the vette from Noel Davis. Not sure how many times it changed owners between Scott and Jimmy though?

Bob ,those Kinston Dragstrip pics bring back memories.
Little tiny tech booth and scales is were i stayed til race started...
my mom and dad used to take me to the strip and drop me off and come back and get me when race was over.
i used to get in free cause i was the shoe-polish man in tech helping Ted Jones,also helped weigh the cars with the noah's ark scales you see in the pics.....
Man i'm getting old..........

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

Danny,
That Sunday was the only time I took any pics at KDS. Guess I thought those days would last forever!

Bob,,,
Thanks again for the memories....

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

Scott,
Jimmy was real fast back in the day with Warren Power. He picked up big time when he switched to the Camaro running SS/L. He is doing his own stuff now and has been some high 10.teens @ 130 with that same combo. If you have facebook you can find him on there as well as searching fo him on Youtube. There's a couple clips of his car in eliminations and one of him getting one of his engines dyno'd at Warren Engines. If you want his info, PM me and I will pass it along.
Jimmy is definently a character, alot of fun to be around on and off the track.

Re: Old photos of your current car.
 

I think that's it. I remember now that you posted his name. I sold it to Noel Davis.
