Below is an article that appeared in Gearhead magazine, Issue 8, 1998. It is an interesting narrative, complete with many photos, of part of the early history of the Juggers Racing Team. Many more are mentioned in the article. Bob and Jim “Big Bear” Hensel, Harold Hungerford, Bill McPhillips, Joe Carbone and “Snyder” among others are either quoted, pictured or mentioned.

Juggers, eliminations Bakersfield Smokers Meet 1960

Hello,

The Juggers had an unusual race car. (a little body, short frame, big motor.) To us, it looked like a little toy ready to race. In the altered class, it met its match in the famous Mooneyham-Sharp 34 coupe. A present day(1960) "David vs Goliath" was in the making. But, as the race unfolded, David did not have a chance in #3$$... Racing the Mooneyham-Sharp coupe from Lakewood was a feat in itself. So, kudos to the little guy.

Taken from the Bakersfield Smokers Meet film that I took back in the old days. A long drive to get there and back from Long Beach, historic significance, fighting for a spot on the fences, walking all over this huge place, and finally, taking a nap in our car, filled out the long day.

The race? Check it out, it is fast, so don't blink.
