About Jimmy Jeep




I've been involved with sprint cars for over 22 years now..Raised in the Finger Lakes area of New York State DIRT modified racing was in my blood..Until that day Red Stauffer drove onto our job site in Orlando pulling his sprinter. Well for the next 15 years I followed him around every Interstate highway in the southeast.You know you can only spell so many words out of Valvoline flashing off the rear door of his trailer.

My faithful 1985 JEEP CJ-7 nicknamed the "WAR WAGON" has been with me the whole way..I drive it to and from the races..Always made it home from out of state under her own power.The mileage is now over 500,000 miles..A lot of people have helped get me there.Red Stauffer,Ron Johnson,and Mike Cronk have been my God Fathers..Eddie Luscomb and his late father Bob gave my trannys the life to push..

Now there's Bobby Davis who has been a part of the crew since his early high school days.We bribed him to stay in school with racing.After graduation he went to GM school and spent as much time with Red as he could.A love for sprint cars at 27 he decided to be a Marine and become a chef.I really don't know if it was because of the track food.Were all proud of him.

IN 2001 JIMMYJEEP TOOK ON A NEW LOOK THANKS TO EDDIE ROBBINS OF LK. HELEN, FL..ALL CLEAN AND PAINTED TO PUSH THE BEST SPRINT CAR DRIVERS IN THE WORLD...THE BUMPER WAS BUILT MANY YEARS AGO BY RED STAUFFER AND RON JOHNSON...

THIS IS HERBIE MY "SHOTGUN" WHO I LOST IN MARCH OF 2003..MY ENGINE, WHICH IS THE FOURTH IN 22 YEARS, IS A 305'CHEVY WITH A 4bl HOLLEY..THE ORIGINAL CHRYSLER AUTOMATIC HAS BEEN TOUCHED A FEW TIMES BY EDDIE LUSCOMB...

WITH OUT THE HELP FROM THESE GREAT PEOPLE THERE WOULDN'T BE A NICE RIDE FROM BILSTEIN OR SMOOTH LUBRICATED PARTS FROM ROYAL PURPLE AND THE NICE PEOPLE OF SWEET PARTS OF FLORDA.
