Notes: From AHRA and UDRA stardom, Jim's big Merc became one of the original inspirations of the Pro Modified revolution. In the span of 12 years, "Zeke", with Animal Jim driving and wrenching, achieved countless wins, awards, and records, which included three World Championships in a row. - 1988, '89 & '90. In 1990, "Zeke" became one of the original IHRA Pro Mods and ran a best of 7.14 at 199. Not bad for an 11-year-old car. Photo from 1989. |

Notes: In May of 1990, Rick Jones built Jim a new Pro Modified Ford Probe as a sponsor, partner and Jim started the 1990 season as one of the first Pro Mods in the business. The Probe was one of Rick's first cars that he built as R.J. Race Cars, and it was one of the first cars ever built as a pure Pro Modified car. With features like front fuel cell, escape hatch, stretched wheelbase, full deck funny car wing, VFN fiberglass body (note funny car nose), etc., it was the benchmark for the 1990 IHRA inaugural Pro Mod rule book. This car became the first carbed Ford to break 200 mph on July 4/1990 at Norwalk, Ohio at a USSC (United States Super Circuit) event. It was also the first Ford in the 6's in September of 1990 at the IHRA US Open at Darlington. Jim went on to win the USSC Championship that year. This car was featured in many magazines over the next two years. Photo shows Jim paired with Scotty Cannon at the 1990 Bristol IHRA Spring Nats. |

Notes: Towards the end of 1991, the Pro Modified class was changing fast and Animal Jim wanted a new hook to keep the match race bookings coming in. He commissioned Jerry Haas to build him a new Thunderbird Super Coupe for Pro Modified. This was to be without a doubt the best engineered and best appearing car Animal Jim had ever had. As a matter of fact, it won both those honors twice in IHRA in '92 and '93. It was powered by a 700" Kaase, Animal Jim engine that he named "Big Boy." It had 2 stages of NOS and was a solid 6.70 car by 1993. He won many races with the infamous "Wunderbird" in USSC and UDRA and placed well in IHRA points as well. It also was dubbed and billed as the World's Quickest Ford from '92 to '96. In 1993, Animal was honored to be one of Car Craft's Pro Mod "Drivers of the Year" along with Scotty Cannon and Bill Kuhlmann. In the photo, Animal Jim is paired with Mike Martin who was driving the former Robby Vandergriff '57 Chev at the 1992 IHRA Spring Nats. |

Notes: The WunderBird's first outing came at the inaugural United States Super Circuit (USSC) race in April 1992 at Maryland International Raceway. The car ran great right out of the box and Animal Jim went on to win the event over Charles Carpenter and his legendary '55 Chevy. He ran a 6.83 at 205 mph to win a classic Chevy vs. Ford final round. In the photo with Jim is Fletcher Harrison (left), track owner Royce Miller (to Jim's right, presenting trophy) and crew chief Al Schmitt (far right). The next day, the USSC ran at Englishtown, where Animal Jim ran three more career bests, but lost two pistons in the final. He still rang up a 6.80 at 200+ mph. Again, this car was featured frequently in print, TV, and videos. Jim won the 1992 IHRA US Open at Darlington and did well in USSC competition. In this photo, Animal beat Ronnie Sox on this run at Englishtown USSC in 1992. Sox announced his retirement from Pro Mod that October day in '92. Ronnie changed his mind later on, however, and ran that car through the end of 1994. As a matter of fact, Ronnie and Animal Jim were featured at Moroso Dragstrip's Ford event in late October of '94. And the next weekend, they were both booked at Jackson Dragway in South Carolina. In '95, Sox and Buddy Martin came back out with a new IHRA Mountain Motor T-Bird Super Coupe Pro Stock car. |

In 1993, Animal was honored to be one of Car Craft's Pro Mod "Drivers of the Year" along with Scotty Cannon and Bill Kuhlmann. By now, the wins and awards were coming fast and furious. Here I am in the winner's circle with "The Two Lindas" at the 1993 IHRA Spring Nationals at Bristol. Pictured left to right Tim Smith, my wife Linda, my crew chief Al Schmitt, "Miss Hurst" Linda Vaughn, me and the 3M rep (race sponsor). The beautiful paint job on this fantastic car was actually done at Fennell Auto Body by my son-in law Doug Fennell and Joe Klein. Also went 6.766 at Darlington 4/06/93. | Feurer qualified #7 at Darlington for the IHRA Winternationals with a 6.76/204.45. In the first round Tommy Mauney pulled a slight holeshot and his 6.79/203 beat Jim's quicker 6.78/203.80. At the USSC Opener at Maryland International, he qualified #2 with a 6.85/201 and he advanced into the final by beating Billy Gibson with a 6.88/201. Unfortunately he lost to Fred Hahn in the final. Jim was the crowd favorite at Bristol for the IHRA Springnationals where he ran 6.88/201.74 to qualify #14. He had the only Ford that qualified. In the first round, he advanced with a 6.94/200.75 when Jim Halsey blew a motor in his Corvette. In round two, another 6.94 at 201.70 beat a comatose Mark Carter who ran 6.79/205. In the semifinal, it was three Corvettes against "Animal Jim." All the fans were rooting for Jim and he got off the line first, but he slowed to a 6.97/193.84 in his match against Steve Johnson and lost to Johnson's 6.81/202. |

Notes: Jim's Jerry Haas Thunderbird Super Coupe was without a doubt the best engineered and best appearing car Animal Jim had ever had. As a matter of fact, it won both those honors twice in IHRA in '92 and '93. It was powered by a 700" Kaase, Animal Jim engine that he named "Big Boy." It had 2 stages of NOS and was a solid 6.70 car by 1993. He won many races with the infamous "Wunderbird" in USSC and UDRA and placed well in IHRA points as well. It also was dubbed and billed as the World's Quickest Ford from '92 to '96. In 1993, Animal was honored to be one of Car Craft's Pro Mod "Drivers of the Year" along with Scotty Cannon and Bill Kuhlmann. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful shots of the Wunderbird ever taken. The Animal Jim logo on the sides and anti-vortFormer stabilizers on the wing make the exquisite paint job on the car appear translucent. Announcer Bret Kepner had always raved about how it looked under the lights. After being named a Car Craft finalist in '93, I decided to abort all match race bookings and make a real effort to chase IHRA points in hopes of picking up a major sponsor. But like I've always said, "Never trust happiness" for on September 23/1993 shortly after the Car Craft banquet, I had a horrific crash at the IHRA President's Cup at Maryland International Raceway. It happened during the first-round of qualifying and was caused by an UNDETECTED-10-quart oil down from Chuck Peterson's exploded engine from the run before. I went from hero to zero in a few short seconds when the car skidded out of control and landed upside-down and backwards at 200 mph with sparks flying. I was very lucky to walk away unhurt, but this was a devastating blow to our team. I had just sold my home and invested every thing I had into this race program, so this was a serious financial, emotional, and career setback for us all. | Ran 210 mph at Mason Dixon in 93. It was a 4 car feature with me Sox, Carpenter and Norm I think. Three Fords? I know Sox for sure. That was the event I told off a NHRA tech official when he saw my Trick Titanium Bellhousing date was a few weeks truant. He had no authority at that event anyway and he knew it. Just a jerk. |

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. - Animal Jim | Jim was at Maryland in April for the USSC Opener. The car qualified #6 with a 7.22/198 on the T-Bird's fourth run ever. Unfortunately, he broke a rear end in the first round, and lost to eventual winner Fred Hahn. |

Notes: In 1995 and '96, I still did bookings and I even ran with the UDRA again (with guaranteed show money) plus I ran with the USSC (United States Super Circuit) until it disbanded in '95. I still dreamed of an IHRA campaign, but it was hard to turn down booked-in performances when you need the money. Photo shows Grandson Colin and I with the trophy I won at the 1995 UDRA Summer Nationals at Cordova. | Ran all time best ET of 6.66 at Dallas 95. Another 4 car deal. Me, Wayne, Charles, and Doug Mills who was a last minute stand in for Ted Borowski. Ted had had an aneurysm a few days before. Also 6.730 at Englishtown 4/23/95. |

Notes: In '96, I still did bookings and I even ran with the UDRA again (with guaranteed show money). I still dreamed of an IHRA campaign, but it was hard to turn down booked-in performances when you need the money. Then June of '96, I was asked to do a CBS special at Englishtown. It was the "Ultra Team Challenge," where two from each class were paired in an East vs. West match race. I was chosen as the Pro Mod from the west. For this CBS Sports one hour show special, I was named team captain and the TV crew actually came out to my home (apartment) and shop in downtown Lacon, Illinois, to tape an interview. This was really a big opportunity for us. From our come-back in 1994 until now, everything had been going well and this show could potentially put me on "Broadway" and attract a major sponsor, which would give me the opportunity to run IHRA again. But the fickle finger of fate struck again. After all the interviews, introductions, and pageantry for the Ultra Team Challenge race, I crashed the "Wunderbird" on the first pass. This time, it was caused by beads of water coming up through the cracks in the asphalt from the heavy rains the day before. Of course, CBS loved the crash. And once again, I walked away physically unhurt. Later, I watched the TV program and it was very impressive. I got a lot of coverage, but again, no rescue party for Animal Jim's race program was forthcoming and so after almost three decades of racing, we were used up. This marked the end of my full-time career and I sold the Wunderbird's remains. The photo from Englishtown was used for posters made by one of my product sponsors, Royal Publishing. Although I didn't have any major sponsors at this time, I still had 40 product and associate sponsors which had helped the racing program out quite a bit. Later on, I teamed up with Dan Barnes and drove his new Mustang Pro Mod in order to fulfill some exhibition match races he had already scheduled for 1996. | Won MIR Match race over Wally Bell on April 13/1996, at 6.97 seconds at 201.56. No doubt went quicker than this in 1996. |

Notes: In 1998, Jim got the Zephyr out of mothballs and match-raced Arnie "Farmer" Beswick. The next year, I intended to do some nostalgia bookings with the Zephyr, but decided instead to race a contemporary Pro Mod once again. even if it was just on a limited basis. In the meantime, I reopened my shop, "Animal Jim Racing & Classic Car Service", which catered to hotrod, racing, and classic car enthusiasts. Handout from 2002. |

Notes: I decided to race on a limited basis with a used chassis. I bought this Tim McAmis-built T-bird from Roy Wasko in December of 1999 and dropped in my 700 cid Ford Hemi Big Boy Pro Mod engine. My goal was to race just a few UDRA events and do some select exhibition appearances in order to spend a little more time with my family and run my business. My goals were to race a contemporary Pro Mod into the 21st century, touch 6 decades of racing, and race past my 60th birthday. I had also hoped for another UDRA championship, and then after 2001, I would hopefully sell the "Ballistic Bird" and get "Zeke," my Merc Zephyr, back out for some Nostalgia exhibitions. I fulfilled all the above, including selling the Bird. - Animal Jim |

I had just beaten Johnny Rocca four straight rounds that weekend in a feature match race. The little boy is James Colin Fennell, my grandson, who was 10 years old at the time. The guy in the red shirt is Ford racer Bob Fogelsong who helped out as a crewman. He, his wife and daughter helped me out frequently. The guy at the end was my crew chief Rick Davis. A master machinist, was my full-time crew chief back when I was running the "Big Animal" and the Pinto. |

I fulfilled all the above including selling the Bird. My last hurrah. October 2001 UDRA World Finals at National Trail Columbus. This achievement capped my last Pro Modified National Championship. My crew included Bob Cochron from Columbus, John Wagner, owner of Precision Motors in LaSalle Peru, Illinois, Jeff Mannon, my co-op student from Sparland, Illinois, and Louie Sharp, a friend and employee of John Wagner. This poster was provided by Royal Publishing when I ran the "Ballistic Bird" from 1999 to 2001. I won my sixth career championship in the 2001 UDRA points race and decided it was time to park the "Bird" and quit racing while I was on top. NOT. At the 2001 UDRA (United Drag Racers Association) banquet "Animal Jim" Feurer took top honors as the UDRA Pro Mod Champion. But that wasn't all for the Animal. He was also given the awards for Driver of the Year, the Mechanic of the Year, and he was also presented with the UDRA Sportsmanship Award by Vice-President Chris McMahan. (Yes, this is the same Chris McMahan from the '87 win at WIR photo. Chris was the Director of Competition at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois, he's a member of the NHRA Announcer's Guild, and he drives a Pro Stock car.) Resurrected Wunderbird The accolades didn't end there, however, as Animal Jim and his wife Linda came up to the podium for the fourth time to be given the prestigious President's Award for Career Achievement. It truly has been quite an amazing career, and what a great ending. But is it? |

Notes: Car is limited to 7.50 now due to its age. The 25 year old Zephyr shows it still has the Right Stuff and cranks out mid 7's with ease during Animal Jim and Eric Larson's exhibition match race at Cordova Dragway's 50th Anniversary World Series of Drag Racing in 2003. The crowd loved it. Photo in the pits with niece Michelle. |

Notes: Car is limited to 7.50 now due to its age. AJ ran against Beswick at the World Series at Cordova. This booking was Beswick's big comeback race after he got burned in 2003. Arnie's car accident happened 3 weeks before the 2003 World Series where he was scheduled to race with Animal. Fortunately, Eric Larson was able to fill in for that event and race against Animal with his "Grocery Getter" 1962 Tempest wagon - A Beswick Tribute car he was campaigning. |
