Kind of off topic, but era correct and a good read... JUNGLE MAKES HIS ENTRANCE by Pat Foster At Atco, NJ. In about '72, we were supposed to race Jungle in a match race deal. First round went down at 8:00 p.m. sharp! Well, its 7:45 and still no Jungle (hard to believe huh)? The track lines up some local leaker and says to me, "Run this bozo and maybe he'll show by the second round." We pull up and I'm dressed and just getting in, everyone in the joint stands up and begins chanting "JUNGLE! JUNGLE! JUNGLE!" All eyes are on the highway that goes by the track. The starter starts yelling at my guys "Get him in the car! Get him in the car! I look where everybody is looking and here comes Jungle, strapped in, motor lit and sending flames above the roof, driving that b$$$h from where they unloaded it out by the highway, past the gates and the ticket booth, through the parking lot and one end of the pits, right out onto the starting line, and then through the water for a huge, smokey burn out! And the crowd went WILD! I had time for one squeaky little chirp behind the line, they booed us. Then we blaze the tires against Jungle and again the crowd goes INSANE!! Tough gig running the Jungle man in his part of the country or anywhere else for that matter; Jim was the King, hard a$$ racer and a great showman! R. I. P., my man.
