I'm blogging and also posting in the Racers For Coffee tribe. We're compiling a running thread of a eulogy on Draglist. It would be nice for Tribe aficianados to weigh in on the passing of the Founder of organized Drag Racing.....

LACR closing date locked-in

gratephil — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 13:22:10 GMT

July 29th, we will bid farewell to the last non-corporate drag strip in the LA basin. What a horrible loss for the sport.

I took some photos of my artifical leg with an T- Shirt Lamadated around it, of KS old 1933 Willy's Gasser.. I am thinking about putting it on ebay.. I thought you might want to take an look at it.. I wore this for over 4 years.. I hate to see it go..but i need to get rid of the old..

This is what I wrote up about the leg

Decorated Glow-in-the-Dark KS Pittman Artificial Leg
This leg is made to support up to 300 pounds and has a size 13 flex
foot.
The limb is for the left leg below the knee with a KS Pittman
autographed
shirt laminated around the leg. The leg glows in the dark after being
exposed to a light source. It glows in a dim green color in the white
part
of the leg.
The car image is on the front of the limb and the parachute is on the
back
(see pictures).
I would like to see this go to a true collector of the old Willy's
Gasser
movement of the 1960s and of KS Pittman himself. This is a true
collector's
Item‹the only one I know of that was ever made.
I wore this limb for over 4 years but now it can be made into a lamp, a
flower pot or a receptacle to hold anything you wish. I don't want to
sell
this but I need to downsize my KS Pittman memorabilia. The leg weighs
approximately 4 pounds

Hi all.
I thought ill post this here before I sell it on Ebay. I wear an artifical left leg. Why did I say That.. I have an KS Pittman autographed T-Shirt Lamadated over an artifical left leg..
for those what may not know who he is. He is an old drag Racing Superstar. from the 1950 (late 50) to 1999. I will post an picture of the leg in the next day or so. it is kwnel looking and glows an lite green color in the dark. (only in the white area's) Pictures on the leg is an 1933 ford willys..
It may be expensive to ship weight is between 4 to 5 pounds. I wore this leg for years and it gave me lots of joy and walking.
Thanks
BTW
