Pat O'Connor Fan,
Thought I'd post a few more photos of Jerry for You and everyone here like myself being 'oldtimers' to feed on
Don't mean to turn this initial posting into a J Blundy post,but its kinda neat to see some of these old moldie pics,if it's someone you seen race 'from way back'.
Superduke, 10-4 on the 4x4 setup.If this thing didn't have a sound all of its own at the time,with the full length 3.5 inch headers. Sweet! Jerry actually engineered up most of the block stuff such as main caps etc. Jerry pretty much done everything on his own cars. Not many drivers can say that and still be competitive. Not a nicer guy either. But come race time Jerry was strictly business,having to do everything from stem to stern,in regards to maintaining the car.
Here is one from Lincoln Ne '62. This would have been an IMCA race as well. Can't think of the flagman's name? How many flagman these days wears a tie to the races? How many women wear a dress anywhere,let alone to an auto race. This is Jerry with his wife Marge.I like this shot, Pretty classy. Marge passed away about two years ago BTW.

This pic is taken not sure were. I'm guessing about '73 '74. Notice the 'roof' This was the year after Jerry got both arms broke,so hence, He had Floyd Trevis put a roof on it so his arms couldn't go outside the roll cage ,if he got knocked out.These old Trevis cars had some sweet lines on them, Full belly pan,grill,upholstery nicer than a Cadillac,weight jackers both sides, the whole 9 yards. This is not a real clear pic.
