Allegedly, Jungle Pam was instrumental in the decision to drag the Jungle Jim Nova Funny Car from the pits at the Holley National Hot Rod Reunion, down the road to the campground for a little “after hours fun”, nitro style. We can neither confirm nor deny these rumors, but we can tell you that the car was cackled there. The car was drug down and then fired in the campground for all the campers to see up close and personal. We are talking really up close and personal here folks. And if you haven’t had the opportunity to visit the campground during the National Hot Rod Reunion, you are missing out. It’s a party for sure, and is full of people hanging out, talking cars, enjoying adult beverages and smelling nitro in this case. Check out the video below.

Is that Jungle Pam in the red shirt at 0:01 second in?
Yes it is. Her and her husband bill were with us all weekend.
Yep, I can confirm that there was in fact a fuel car down in the burnout pit in the campground. I even commented to my buds that from where we were it sounded like a car on the “juice”. Burnouts went on down in the back of the campground until almost 2 each morning of the weekend, but no mistaking the sound of a “Cackler!”
The Jungle Jim car was certainly in the house, but couldn’t have participated in the burnout contest unfortunately. For those that might be concerned, it has no driveshaft in it since it’s just a cackle car.
Just way toooo cool, a great way to promote the sport..!
The old iron 427 sounds awesome on nitro! Great job capturing this wicked-fun episode Greg!
