When Jack's original Cobra was obsoleted in BP by a rules change he simply bought another BP Cobra and moved the original car to MOD III. On more than one occasion he crashed one car and set FTD with the other. I see at 1970 Hershey he did neither but took a first and a third. Jack towed both cars to events on a lowboy from his construction business.

Jack bought the BP Cobra wrecked for $1500.00

I did some repairs on it but don't remember how much. Been a long time.

I painted the car green for him and was surprised to see the stripes on when it showed up at the next hill.

Jack is a national recognized wood carver now.
