Just wanted to mention that 35 years ago today we lost Funny Car driver "Jungle" Jim Liberman. Jim lost control of his 72 Corvette and went head on into a bus - Jungle was well known for his long smokey burnouts, fire burn outs and backing up in reverse 100 mph back to the starting line. And of course, there was also "Jungle Pam".
Thats a great picture. Is that from Pams site? Jim was drunk and hit a Septa bus in Pennsylvania. His brother still lives in the next town over from me in Jersey.
Yup, I took it off of Pam Hardy's Facebook site. Someone also posted a newpaper article about the wreck. Jim stuffed that Corvette completely under the front of the SEPTA bus. It finally took a chain hooked to a fire truck to pull him free. Jim lived in the fast lane and sadly also died there
He was a good competitor too. I dont think John Force would have so many championships if Jungle Jim were still around.
