NITROGEEZERS > Larry Bouldin's four banger roadster. X class was well represented in Kansas City. Bouldin's car had an overhead valve conversion
NITROGEEZERS > Mortgage Wagon II built and raced by the RPM'S Car Club in Kansas City area. Ford 4-banger and rear axle on a Crosley chassis . That's the fuel tank strapped to the roll bar.! It was junk but it turned in the 14's.

Editors note: This one has to be the poster car for what Texas Racer, Olin Davis calls a "Kill-yourself-Kit"
