The "Mutt" Brothers
The Mutt Brothers were a group of street racers from Brooklyn. The members were Ronald Lyles, Eugene Coard, John 'Mutt' Lyles (the group was named after John) and Benny Dunham and Jessie Johnson (both of J&B Automotive in Brooklyn). They also raced professionally as a team in Pro Stock. As a Pro Stock team, they've owned a number of incredible race cars, including 1968 Dodge Dart Hemi Super Stock (previously owned by S&K Speed Shop), a Sox & Martin 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Hemi Super Stock and a 1973 Plymouth Duster. Driver Ronald Lyles raced against 'Super John' McFadden in arguably the most famous street race that ever took place, a race now known as the "Quarter Million Quarter Mile". Hi-Performance Cars magazine published an article in the late-'80s called the "Quarter Million Quarter Mile" (and was also republished in "Muscle Cars" magazine. It can also be found on several websites) which is an account of the race almost 20 years after it happened. In it, the name 'Mutt Brothers' was changed to 'Mudd Brothers' for liability reasons.
