    So cool to see Pam out there with Jim’s car!
    They should have at least given her recognition and enlighten all!
    A true drag racing legend in her own right!

    I grew up by Rockingham motor speedway in the late 60s and early 70s and 80s and, I remember watching these cars, BlueMax, ChiTown Hustler, Jungle Jim, the snake and mongoose and many others, Bob Glidden, Sox and Martin, Warren Johnson, Ram Chargers, Reher Morrison , and so many more. We used to drive around Southern Pines, and Aberdeen NC, the motels, the guys would be outside working on their cars. We would go Friday and camp out all weekend, those were simple great days. I don't know what happened so many great track shut out of NHRA, IHRA, ADRA, now it's all about money and spec cars. Warren Johnson said screw it, only the top fuel cars get coverage, I always enjoyed the sportsman classes. Thanks for posting, this is good stuff, I reckon I'm getting old. 👍👍🏁🏁😁

    A friend told me that every time Jungle and Pam would make a run, the pits would be empty and everyone went to watch them. Mostly for Pam.

      The announcer did mention Pam, but what surprised me was all of the dudes on the sidelines not even acknowledging her presence as she passed but a few yards in front of them.For whatever reason, Pam is as much a part of NHRA history as almost anyone.

    I remember sitting in the tower & watching Jungle Jim race Kosty Ivanof in the Boston Shaker when they both had Monza bodies. My mom worked in the tower back then. If I had the money I'd LOVE to build either a Boston Shaker or Yankee Sizzler Nostalgia funny car.

    • @siervodedios5952
      @siervodedios5952 4 роки тому +1

      Yeah judging from her Legends interview I thought she didn't agree with tribute cars. Strange indeed, I suppose perhaps she was paid well or she changed her opinion; to be fair folk can change their opinions on things.

    Well at least it wasn't naked crewman "Berserko Bob" Doerrer backing the car up...I remember an NHRA official telling the story that Doerrer and Pam pulled the stunt with Doerrer butt naked backing up Jim at Englishtown during early qualifying...He said the NHRA had their panties in a bunch over that one...Being from Chicago I saw them at Great Lakes often....RIP old friend...

Ahhhh, the good ole days of drag racing in the Real USofA of years gone by!!.... sad, but true!
