Back in the early seventies my best friend's uncle, Lowell Lister, was partners with Joe Jacona. Running the Brief Encounter, they stopped at my friends house In Joppatown MD, on the way to match race Jungle Jim at Cecil County Dragway. Before the Brief Encounter Lowell had an interesting car called the "Sidwinder", and Joe drove it. Apparently the car still exists and has been restored.

Cool FIREBALL ROBERTS...

I'm sure this has been posted on here somewhere,
but while surfing at the MCG site I saw this and thought it was well worth a revise;

I have owned that car for over 20 years. The Car was built by Bob Moore and Tim Kuschi. The motor they used was from the 1965 Don Gay AWB car. 421 on Nitro. Rescued the car from a owner that was going to install a big block Chevrolet .
