09/14/03 John Mc This is from Middletown
09/15/03 3-Wide Thanks John - I saw that wall in the background and I though Naz big track.
09/15/03 Jeff McClung This is the epic Gizmo car Jimmy built, He used it mostly in small block  competition, Jimmy was a great desiner and inovator when his mind was on building race cars, most people do not realize Jimmy built most of the cars he won with, that's what separates him from most!
10/03/03 Todd Lewis Gizmo was arguably the greatest Small Block EVER built and whenever it pulled in the gates you knew he was there to clean house.
12/15/03 Matt Flamisch This car ran into the late 1990s as SBM and later a sportsman at Bridgeport by Erwin Schlenger and later  by John Betts. 
12/17/03 3-Wide Hey Matt - What # was was did Erwin Schlenger and John Betts run?
05/31/04 Todd Jenkins I do not recall Erwin in the Gizmo, he could have tho...  I know he had either the Earthwork 7Ay car or one of Brennen's   cars that he used for a year or so.  Johnny Townsend ran that Olsen as well.   John Betts ran the Gizmo as the #11A and so did Johnny Townsend.  Townie also ran the Old Reliable car, which was a former 7A that was purchased from Horton as well...  
07/04/05 Frank Miller the nose treatment on gizmo was actually a brainstorm between jimmy and bob mc creadie at syracuse one year 83 84 85?
