Default Re: Car Name Memories

"Great Expectations", Jim and Alison Lee's car(s). Alison and my sister were best friends. Alison asked if I wanted to go a race with them in 1962. They were racing a 39 Plymouth gasser with an Olds engine with six 2's to start with then moved to a gas dragster and then on to a series of Ed Pink powered dragsters. I met all the big racers of the time through them and have been hooked ever since. Alison made Jim quit driving after he rolled the gas dragster at Atco (I believe). Then Lee Edwards drove for them for awhile and I think Hilton was driving when they gave up the circuit. Hilton married their daughter and I believe their son is doing something in the business now.
