Notes: It was a big disappointment that no one came around to offer their assistance after the crash, but we were determined not to let that crash get us down. Linda went to the local bank to borrow enough funds to rebuild and I took the beaten-up "Wunderbird" back to Jerry Haas to work a miracle. It took about $40K by the time they were all done. I had even sold one of my back-up engines to help fund this resurrection. I was so far in debt at this time that I had no choice, but to grab all the paid bookings I could get. My dream of running IHRA national events exclusively were dashed. Luckily, my fans still wanted more of Animal Jim Mania and paid bookings for me were readily available. My return in '94 went very well and it was probably my best year ever for match racing. After every race, Linda would go to the bank with as much match race and T-shirt money as possible in order to whittle down the now six-figure debt. Fortunately, '94 was a magical match race year. We experienced no breakage and I made every contracted run. This picture was taken by Al Hanna with my camera after we won Pro Modified at New Hampshire Dragway in 1994. We were on our 25th year of racing tour. This win was right on the anniversary date - July 20/1994. Bret Kepner took us all out to eat at a Lobster House. It was a great weekend. (L to R) Crew Chief Al Schmitt, me and wife Linda Lou. |
