Jim Oddy's Austin is Alive and Angry !

That is the color the car was when Jimmy got it sounds like that is it. Send any photos if you would I send them to Jim he will get a kick out of it Thanks Trouble


Thanks for sharing the info !!

 

US 131 Sept 6th & 7th

 

Here are a couple more pictures. The blue "Foleys Fooler" panel is Lucky Foley, who ended up buying the 36 coupe. The next picture with the corvette,which was another Meadville car,owned by Pop Smith,who operated a neighborhood grocery store in Meadville the vette was powered by an injected nailhead buick,later with a Latham supercharger.After the coupe and the corvette were sold they shared the same garage for several years.The corvette was then powered by a small block chevy and campaigned vigorously on Ohio and pennsylvania drag strips for a couple of years and then it was put out to pasture(literally) where it deteriorated badly.

 

Thanks for posting the 36 pics let me know if you find one how it looks now I will show Jimmy He will get a kick out of it !! Thanks

I remember it was in 1971, just started racing. I was in the long line of cars waiting to pay at the little shack they used to use at Lancaster raceway. My buddy was bringing in my car for me "REDHOT" and I started walking down the road to the gate and Jim Oddy pulled up next to me and said "hey you want a ride in?" Well I was a big shot the whole day. All the guys said Wow, you know him that well? Ha,Ha.

 

Jim is a very good person I know him well after I got the Austin good for me bad for him LOL. Someone has a cool face book page on his racing days check it out I just found it
