"Burn On". A great little drag racing documentary done in 1973. Jungle Jim is interviewed, Shirley is still driving a funny car. Wow. Thanks to Ross Howard for putting me on to this little gem. Check it out. Not the best quality by today's standards but still very cool. And the music is groovy! | Drag Racing's Golden Era

Russell James Liberman was an American funny car drag racer, nicknamed "Jungle Jim." In 2001, he was named #17 on the list of the Top 50 NHRA drivers of all time. Liberman was known for driving backwards at 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) after doing his burnout. #legend #dragracing #legends | Insect Racing

On this day, 1964, Country singer Jim Reeves dies at age 40 when he crashes his private plane while flying over Brentwood, Tennessee, in the midst of a violent thunderstorm. He will continue to chart after his death, with "Distant Drums" fighting the Beatles' double-sided "Yellow Submarine" and "Eleanor Rigby" for the #1 spot in the UK. #rockabillyitalia | Rockabilly Italia
