Mystery Train

It’s a good thing that the Monterey Historics publishes a comprehensive program, because otherwise, you’d have a real problem identifying some of the cars that compete there. Check this out.

jowett

Give up? It’s a 1952 Jowett Jupiter, which came off the road in California and then got prepped as maybe the most unlikely production racing car in North America, as it’s been for years now. The car, and the effort behind it, is unbelieveably simple. Any number of these “sporting gentleman” teams arrive at Laguna Seca with full crews and NASCAR- or IRL-type haulers. Scott Renner of Los Alamitos, California, had a single crewman and towed the Jowett behind an old van. They told us they had a blast, making them our kind of guys. This is a pure driver’s challenge; look at Steve putting the spine and shoulders into this corner, running on skinnies maybe a third of the width of a Harley V-Rod’s back tire.
