   Updated: The Jackman Brothers car was a search with an interesting twist ... it was widely believed that the car was lost forever until we got a message from Ron Jones in Kansas saying he knew someone who thought he had the car. Pete Mustain had bought a 32  Sports Coupe 10 or so years ago and was told it was the Jackman brothers car. Pete just put the car away in storage and out of sight out of mind until the anniversary hoopla began and someone told him that half the world was looking for the car.   Click here for the story

They raced against Creighton Hunter, who had a very hot roadster and was always first off the line.
