03/02/08 Larry Jendras Johnny normally raced this Reds Kagle creation at Lincoln and Hagerstown Speedways. He was in fourth place in points at Lincoln before he was killed driving another car. He beat the "bugs" at Hagerstown on July 4th in a 50 lapper and ranked right at the top of the points there before his death.
03/02/08 JAS Never saw him in this car. I only saw him race back at Alcyon in Pitman where he drove the #7 sedan. He was in my opinion a driving force in car building. Take a look at this car and see where the motor is or where it isn't. Look at the hood and you can tell this was not a cookie cutter type guy he copied everyone else. He was trying things to gain the edge needed to win. I did see tha car he built that got outlawed in Pa but I saw it run on the asphalt at Atlantic City, with I think Don Noble driving.
03/02/08 3-Wide I noticed how low the engine set... Really a unique looking car.
