Jungle Jim was the ultimate showman and "Jungle Pam" was part of that show. He knew what to do to capitalize and she is as much a part of him being a legend as he is. She also wasn't the only one out there in go-go boots and no bra. Barbara Coil(Austins wife) and Shirl Greer's wives did the same thing. The Hustler was known as much for Coil's wife, as it was 1/8 mile burnouts. Greer's wife serviced the clutch AND went out to look hot. These guys knew drag racing was a "show" and not so much a business. You think Linda was out there riding in a Cutlass with her boobs hanging out to sell shifters, or be a show. It was the show and it was good. Several dragster teams had ALL girls in hot pants and go-go boots that would go out and push the cars back before reversers came along.

Hot "back up girls" are......well, HOT and there should be more of that today. You still see it but not enough. Pretty common at the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green. Plenty of them out there these days, they just may not be sporting go-go boots
