Looks like it wasn't just the cars that sucked gas and breathed fire back then with some of these guys.

He is a living piece of automobile history for the Northern Kentucky area!

I am Cliff Wartman, who was Pres of the Jumpers. I can't believe I am seeing some of those photos again. I am at the desk in the photo taken at our car show at Npt. Shoppin Center. Yes that is also my Charger R/T and Mustnag. Others in the club who show up on pics are Ed Ferring, Bob Halderman. Yes that is Thornhill we used to help run it. Member Walter "Baldy" McClaren was announcer. You brought back many found memories. And yes we had a good relationship with the city and police.

Hi Cliff. I hope it the pics put a smile on your face. Thanks for posting.

Cliff I looked around but couldn't find the pics of the club jacket on Facebook. If you get time shoot me a link if you have one with it.

If you go to the thread of the Clutch Jumper info I am wearing the jacket in two pic's/ Sitting at the table at the Shopping center and standing next to the coupe at LeSourdsville Lake. Powder blue with the logo on the back, made in California...

Cliff, did you know Kenny Marquise, And a fellow with the last name of CROWE, first name escapes me..

In regards to the Hydroplanes I was part of the crew for the Moonshine Baby's E-54 & H-54. H-54 had a 427 Ford Engine. They were owned by Dal Kremer who owned Bellevue Motors in Bellevue who also did some fantastic paint jobs and where I learned pin striping. If it was fast I got involved......
