Jimmy was a great guy...and so was his buddy Terry Curkeet. My one and only trip to Brainerd resulted in a tear down . Terry tore my car down and assembled it for a fifth of whiskey. What a deal ? I was politely asked to never come back....LOL....inside joke there folks...The 66 wagon that Jimmy bought from Cal Method was named Financial Burden....After stock qualifying was completed Jimmy and crew would always stop at the first bar they saw....Those guys had a lot of fun. Lyn, thanks for the trip down memory lane....

My old pal, the late Zenon ("ZK") Kotelko in the C/SM Nite Rider in the near lane. I actually owned that car for awhile. I miss ZK a lot. He was a great character. I also miss Modified Eliminator a bunch too....

Wayne, when was ZK racing this car? First time I ever seen him was at Mission in the mid 70s, but at that time he had a red 64 or 65 Chevelle , also called "Nite Rider". He came out to visit another transplanted Saskatchewan racer, Randy Swain. When he came out, another Sask. racer came with him, bringing along his AMX S/S car.

Al Bodnarchuk (who is on this site) can correct me if I'm wrong on the lineage of ZK's Chevelle. First pic is of ZK under the Chevelle ("Nite Rider II"): The next fuzzy Instamatic photo is of ZK racing Gary Waldner (aka "Waldo") heads up. Waldo's car was named "Mr. Magoo". It was a really nice car for the era: Tons of ancient memories! Take care Rory.... |
