Great Jeb Allen and Don Shoe Story (1 Viewer)

[Nunz]

So happy to hear that Jeb is doing so well, that he's giving back. He went through a tough time for a bit after he stopped racing. Neat story:

Don Schumacher, Jeb Allen and Terry Chandler, you make me proud of OUR sport.

Great story. Thanks for the link.

Jeb is SIXTY TWO???

Oh man, what a punch in the reality gut THAT was!

No kidding David! I remember reading my dad's Drag Racing USA as a little kid when the cover featured Jeb's family's Jr.Fuelers. Had to be late 60's. Man where did the years go...

I remember when he ran TF and FC on same weekend at Heartland Park Topeka. I'm not sure if FC was alcohol or nitro but it was cool watching him do it.

I think you're thinking about Pat Austin.

We bought one of Jeb's rollers back in 1980 and made the leap into TF. Had a good time for a while. The Allen family were very nice to us when we picked it up.

Once took a new TF car and driver to Lions to sort it out. No one knew how to set the barrel valve, so we recruted Jebs father, Guy?, and he dialed us in. Great guy.

Your right I'm bad, thanks Alan

Hey Don, Maybe later this year you could do a "Praying Mantis" paint/wrap scheme on one of the dragsters to thank Jeb. Just an idea!
