James
Jessup -- 1961 "H-Bomb"
I'm sure some go-karts
are larger than this car. James Jessup of Seattle, WA, finished 26th
in his 750cc. "H-Bomb", a diminutive and crowd-pleasing Special powered
by a Mercury outboard boat engine.
How small is small?
Compare Jessup's ride with #540, Jack Reynolds' 1955
Porsche 356, hardly a Ford Galaxie itself.
| From website visitor
Bruce Dabney:
"James Jessup's H-Bomb
was originally built & raced by Dan Odenborg (sp?) from McMinnville,
Oregon. He (along with at least one other guy who's name I forget)
built at least one other car, which I think is now being vintage raced,
possibly by Odenborg's son? "Sports Car Graphic" did an article on
the car sometime in the early 60s. Cool to see it's still around."
