Good evening Adam;
I like your houses. They look like a mischievous sprite resides within.
Once upon a time...we had Rupp go-karts to give away. Before they made it out the door we would run them around the house. With a couple percentnitro. Back fired like crazy.
Such fun...

Hi Jungle Pam. I'm 35. I've never been to a drag race, just whatever motorsports the county fair counld conjure, in upstate NY. I'd heard of Jungle Jim, and I think I'd heard of you, but I became acutely aware, when I ran accross the great pictures you put on the internet. There's something really sincere and nostalgic about them.
   Your story about being picked up at 18, in your home town... It's like a drag racing fairy tale!  And It's so poetic that you live back in you home town now!  So you sort of captured my imagination.

   I live in New Orleans with my wife Amy, and we have an art gallery with our pal Scott, I'm a metal sculptor and a painter. farringtonsmithgallery.com is the gallery website.
I used to only make scuptures of cars, but the funny thing is that the art crowd doesn't care about cars, and the car crowd won't blow their parts budget on art. I made a sculpture of a 40 ford doing such a burnout that the luggage got sucked out of the trunk from the g force.  Lately I've been making boats and houses.  A lot of my stuff cranks, flapping wings and stuff. I like contraptions.
On a tangent, I got a minibike, the old style death trap, and boy does it take off quick, now that I've installed a 5.5 hp and a torque concerter.  I never had one growing up, so I think I have arrested developement. I'm glad I can get my adult speed thrills on grass at 25 mph. Anyway, thanks for putting those pictures on the internet.
Adam Farrington
