It's a late reminder, but for those of you in the Portland area, we will be meting up at Madison's (11th and Madison) tomorrow as usual, at 10am. A little birdie told me that Tikiman is bringing out one of the Jungle Jim cars.... Worth checkin out for sure. Hope to see ya there.
If your talking about one of the "twins" here, it's worth the trip to go see. He brought one out east for us to see at ATCO's funny car race this year and it was a pleasure to see it and hear it run (started up in the pits).
A few shots, including the nitro star of the show. Great gathering this morning, though a bit chilly. Evidently a couple of Portland Police officers got shot nearby, and that's why all the police traffic through there.

yeah it was cool, that car was amazing. seeing a car like that in a different setting, ie, not on a race track, and hearing it run-especially next to all the other "normal" cars, really puts into perspective how nasty a machine like that is. big thanks to tiki man for bringing it out!!
