Jimmy Owens Chassis

^^^ Exactly!!
Great guy, humble and deserves to get back to winning 🏁 again. He and Dale/Shane McDowell are on my top of the list.
They have worked and earned everything from the bottom up- starting with street stocks.

Couple of more shots. It used an obscenely long LS j-bar 25+ inches.

Thanks for the info and the pics Henry. Way beyond my feeble engineering mind but very interesting stuff. Back when everything wasn't pretty much the same. Wish the old pre-war coupes & coaches hadn't died out. Those I understood and knew what I was doing with them. Glory Days. Ninth decade on this earth and eighth decade participating in this sport and only run an occasional race myself and my son's our main driver now. Still love it though.

Very cool pics, reminds me that back on our first four link cars the jbar connected up to the right side (or in the case of the Howe cars is ran behind the rear end and ran all the way across). I haven't found the shots of the front end but will continue to look.

At one time I had shots of one of the OG Custom at Pennsboro. Maybe on a hard drive somewhere. It had open tube sprint car rear axle with wishbone links. Underslung front & rear. No idea how to get those old drives to work. Unfortunately tend to run them until they quit before moving files. It's dead Jim.

Back in a Rocket tonight after the car took some hard hits.

Probably wondering about the self designed chassis and if it’s gonna be back on the track.

From what i am hearing: it win’t be but who knows?

Yeah, thats kinda what I was getting at about the JO Chassis. Probably too busy till off season if he hurt very bad in fla.

Jimmy only has 2 crew members: his brother Kurt and Mullett. Mullett just recently had a stroke. It’s hard for Jimmy to have the time to work on his self designed chasis. It was a Bloomquist/Rocket hybrid type. Brucebuilt fabricated some components for it.
it would be great to see him back in his own design again.

Thank you for the update, I'll pray for Mullett too.

Any updates on Mullett?
