So cool to see Pam out there with Jim’s car! They should have at least given her recognition and enlighten all! A true drag racing legend in her own right!
I grew up by Rockingham motor speedway in the late 60s and early 70s and 80s and, I remember watching these cars, BlueMax, ChiTown Hustler, Jungle Jim, the snake and mongoose and many others, Bob Glidden, Sox and Martin, Warren Johnson, Ram Chargers, Reher Morrison , and so many more. We used to drive around Southern Pines, and Aberdeen NC, the motels, the guys would be outside working on their cars. We would go Friday and camp out all weekend, those were simple great days. I don't know what happened so many great track shut out of NHRA, IHRA, ADRA, now it's all about money and spec cars. Warren Johnson said screw it, only the top fuel cars get coverage, I always enjoyed the sportsman classes. Thanks for posting, this is good stuff, I reckon I'm getting old. 👍👍🏁🏁😁
😊just saw this video,I know it's old but I still had to comment.I wish I knew Pam was there.Epping is my home track I'm only 20mins away.I would have loved to meet her in person.She definitely should be inducted in the drag racing hall of fame.
The announcer did mention Pam, but what surprised me was all of the dudes on the sidelines not even acknowledging her presence as she passed but a few yards in front of them.For whatever reason, Pam is as much a part of NHRA history as almost anyone.
I ahh know the owner of the car even with a fat bank account it’s hard keeping 3 nostalgia cars running solid finding parts is getting tough and a lot of newer top fuel parts are slowly creeping into the picture.
I remember sitting in the tower & watching Jungle Jim race Kosty Ivanof in the Boston Shaker when they both had Monza bodies. My mom worked in the tower back then. If I had the money I'd LOVE to build either a Boston Shaker or Yankee Sizzler Nostalgia funny car.
Didn't think Pam was in favor of these tribute cars. Seems she said that in an interview I saw. I'm happy to see the tribute cars out there keeping memories alive from the hayday of drag racing.
Yeah judging from her Legends interview I thought she didn't agree with tribute cars. Strange indeed, I suppose perhaps she was paid well or she changed her opinion; to be fair folk can change their opinions on things.
When I think of "Ladies" in racing the FIRST 2 names that come to mind are: Linda Vaughan and "Jungle" Pam. I KNOW! They didn't race, but WOW! Some GREAT memories of seeing both!
She looked pissed. Like she didn't want to be there. I saw an interview with her one time and she cherishes Jungle so much that she gets upset with recreations and stuff. Not jealousy. More of like a protective type thing
Well at least it wasn't naked crewman "Berserko Bob" Doerrer backing the car up...I remember an NHRA official telling the story that Doerrer and Pam pulled the stunt with Doerrer butt naked backing up Jim at Englishtown during early qualifying...He said the NHRA had their panties in a bunch over that one...Being from Chicago I saw them at Great Lakes often....RIP old friend...
jacktorranc...... Ahhhh, Yes!!..... Berserko Bob Doerrer, Thee ORIGINAL "Streaker"..... remember it well at ATCO Dragway when he came running out from behind the tower right after they played the National Anthem..... butt naked, and haulin ass down the 1320 with two cops and a few others in hot persuit!!...... Ahhhh, the good ole days of drag racing in the Real USofA of years gone by!!.... sad, but true!
Yes my home track, spent many sunday...... sunday...... SUNDAAAY'S THERE ✌😎 I'm so glad they really put some serious money into that place and now it's hosting NHRA MAJOR EVENTS ! I was there when Billy Myer laid down the first 5 second run ! ( 5.99 I'm guessing in the late 70's [ 78',79' ] ? ) In his Aquaslide & Dive AA/FC 😉
Hi, Im guessing that is a February 1973 issue, they say don't buy a book because of the cover . But I'm guessing thats just why I bought my first copy of Hot Rod.
OMG, the heavy duty crush I had on her when I was a kid.... whew. I loved her. She was the uber-babe. She's also responsible for well over a few thousand trillion drain babies I made with her in mind. I'm sure I wasn't the only kid who had "soggy" Jungle Pam pictures. She still looks good today. Drag racing is faaaaar out!
I saw an interview or an article, I can't recall which where4 Pam said that there was one restored Jungle Jim Vega and that was the only Jungle Jim car she would work with. she does not like the recreations at all.
JJ was a god among men in the flopper driver business....and JP is the matriarch of women in the sport......Judy Lilly, Shirley....sure.....but on the Mt Rushmore of women in racing, Pam is there....the youngsters need to wait their turn....you don't get into the hall of fame till you put in your time.......Pam has put in the time.....she's an ambassador.
Liberman couldnt draw flies in old MacDonalds barn, til he added Pam to the "team".... it's shame here... shes wearin clothes! 1st time ive seen that..lol

Thats what I said!
Remember the good old days cause there’ll never be anything like’em.
That Woman was the most photographed person at every track that she went to,it was the most amazing thing,she was a rock star of racing !!!
That was Jungle Pam.
I met her, she was awesome!
Linda Vaughn the most photographed broad in drag racing history.
i meet jungle pam at island dragway in great meadows NJ last year she is the most friendly person known &i also got my picture taken with her

Michael Proulx me too great memories
Rockingham. 👍.
Loved ya back in the 70s and I still love ya today. Stay healthy Pam.
You haven't lost anything in my eyes.
😊just saw this video,I know it's old but I still had to comment.I wish I knew Pam was there.Epping is my home track I'm only 20mins away.I would have loved to meet her in person.She definitely should be inducted in the drag racing hall of fame.
A friend told me that every time Jungle and Pam would make a run, the pits would be empty and everyone went to watch them. Mostly for Pam.
What? No hot pants and tank top.
Thanks for the memories !!
Like I heard someone say,jungle Jim had the 2 best ride's in drag racing!!
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear the announcer even acknowledge JP being there. She is a racing icon and deserves the respect. RIP Jungle Jim....
I heard them mention her 3 times during this clip, saying how she still gets the job done....need hearing aids ?
The announcer did mention Pam, but what surprised me was all of the dudes on the sidelines not even acknowledging her presence as she passed but a few yards in front of them.For whatever reason, Pam is as much a part of NHRA history as almost anyone.
Jungle would have been embarrassed by. That burn out !!!
+NYC Songman. i saw two guys waving at her...i agree..shes a drag racing icon..i loved seeing her at the socal drag strips
word...
She dressed differently in the good old days! I enjoyed watching her then!
Thankfully, she has the good sense not to dress like that at her current age.
“Drag Racing is...
FARRRRRRR OUT!!!”
-“Jungle Jim” Liberman-
Pretty Damn cool. That car, that woman, . . . . legendary. Makes me grin with memmories of days gone by. Good ones too.
Mammory's??!
@@milojanis4901yes💞😏(.(.
Jungle would be embarrassed by that burnout!
Yes, I thought the very same thing. It was sad by Jungle standards.
I ahh know the owner of the car even with a fat bank account it’s hard keeping 3 nostalgia cars running solid finding parts is getting tough and a lot of newer top fuel parts are slowly creeping into the picture.
I remember sitting in the tower & watching Jungle Jim race Kosty Ivanof in the Boston Shaker when they both had Monza bodies. My mom worked in the tower back then. If I had the money I'd LOVE to build either a Boston Shaker or Yankee Sizzler Nostalgia funny car.
gotta love jungle pam!!!!!!!!
Yeah, her twin sisters ROCK!!
I remember when they first open NE drag-way and we would sit on the hill and watch Jungle Jim race
This video has some of the BEST audio I have heard in drag racing! Too bad more videos were not made with this audio quality.
Not to complain but I saw the title and clicked on the thumbnail before I saw the day. Great to see the car.
She still looks good!!!!!
Awesome Jungle Pam guiding Jungle Jim's car !!!
Does my ole heart good to see that car with Pam👀
Didn't think Pam was in favor of these tribute cars. Seems she said that in an interview I saw. I'm happy to see the tribute cars out there keeping memories alive from the hayday of drag racing.
Agree strange she even did it.
money will make you change your mind.
Yeah her Lengends interview gave me the impression she was not for this and if you put Jungle Jim on your car - it’s cursed.
Yeah judging from her Legends interview I thought she didn't agree with tribute cars. Strange indeed, I suppose perhaps she was paid well or she changed her opinion; to be fair folk can change their opinions on things.
Looks to me like one of Jungle's original cars, with current safety mods. She did say she'd back up the original cars.
Those were the days.
She still has the Pam strut !!! Gotta love that Pa gal !
When I think of "Ladies" in racing the FIRST 2 names that come to mind are: Linda Vaughan and "Jungle" Pam. I KNOW! They didn't race, but WOW! Some GREAT memories of seeing both!
Ok. Maybe its just me ! Y'all happen to know Pam had one hell of a pair of legs too ?
Very long set of gams for sure!
shes aged well to recent interview
Boy howdy! They reached ALL the way to the ground!
@@williamtetrault1300 And went all the up to heaven.
She looked pissed. Like she didn't want to be there. I saw an interview with her one time and she cherishes Jungle so much that she gets upset with recreations and stuff. Not jealousy. More of like a protective type thing
Pam Hardy is still the best, even now.
There was even more significance to that run when you think about it. Crazy Jake drove Jungle's car at least once. There's a video here on TH-cam.
great to see Jungle Pam again....
Those nitro cars sound good
Well at least it wasn't naked crewman "Berserko Bob" Doerrer backing the car up...I remember an NHRA official telling the story that Doerrer and Pam pulled the stunt with Doerrer butt naked backing up Jim at Englishtown during early qualifying...He said the NHRA had their panties in a bunch over that one...Being from Chicago I saw them at Great Lakes often....RIP old friend...
jacktorranc...... Ahhhh, Yes!!.....

very awesome!
She's a good symbol
of our culture before feminist took control
Yes my home track, spent many sunday...... sunday...... SUNDAAAY'S THERE
✌😎
I'm so glad they really put some serious money into that place and now it's hosting NHRA MAJOR EVENTS !
I was there when Billy Myer laid down the first 5 second run ! ( 5.99 I'm guessing in the late 70's [ 78',79' ] ? )
In his Aquaslide & Dive AA/FC 😉
Now that is groovy man!!
Glad to see her out there, but also glad she "passed the tourch" to Bob Bode's chick.
only 1 jungle pam, no torch to pass.
Thanks for the mammaries.
cue the bob hope voiceover
Hi Pam its gene(scotts brother) from w.c. hope all is well. Life is good and im looking for a copy of HOTROD with you on the cover!! Later.
Hi, Im guessing that is a February 1973 issue, they say don't buy a book because of the cover . But I'm guessing thats just why I bought my first copy of Hot Rod.
She still has it.
Greybeards watching car and Jungle Pam walking back un-noticed. Guys must be stupid, or blind, maybe both !
Or maybe men prefer younger women.
half the guys there do not have a clue who she was
Please don't ever post another video until you learn to hold the camera still.
I felt seasick after watching that shaky camera work.
OMG, the heavy duty crush I had on her when I was a kid.... whew. I loved her. She was the uber-babe. She's also responsible for well over a few thousand trillion drain babies I made with her in mind. I'm sure I wasn't the only kid who had "soggy" Jungle Pam pictures. She still looks good today. Drag racing is faaaaar out!
Thanks for sharing
pam sure was a hottie.... and i mean hot
And she is a beautiful woman now !
...Jim.
i used to like the fact that it looked like Pam was having as much fun as Jim.......very good team together
I seen them in the 70s I had used rings out of his car between rounds in the pit at Gateway International St Louis
Who filmed this? Shaky Jake? It's terrible.
I was gonna watch till the end
But I got motion sickness half way through..🥺🥺🥺😵😵😵
the greatest
Every dog had there day
she had hers
She’s hotter than any of the cars.
Oh.......... just saw the date
Jake Crimmins used to drive a Jungle Jim Car
An actual Jungle Jim car??
I saw an interview or an article, I can't recall which where4 Pam said that there was one restored Jungle Jim Vega and that was the only Jungle Jim car she would work with. she does not like the recreations at all.
She didn’t seem to be to into it.
She should of been called Headlights pam.
Ok I'll hope she got payed well .she deserves it
so choppy. hold that camera steady!
good run
The ole gal Pam has but on some weight...what's w/all the attire?
JJ was a god among men in the flopper driver business....and JP is the matriarch of women in the sport......Judy Lilly, Shirley....sure.....but on the Mt Rushmore of women in racing, Pam is there....the youngsters need to wait their turn....you don't get into the hall of fame till you put in your time.......Pam has put in the time.....she's an ambassador.
Mike Spillman
GO FAST, GO FAST.
Classic
How people get excited by a fake car is beyond me.
Life is hard.
Yet the snake and beadle ate them alive every time
That ain't Jungle Pam, thats some old lady!
❤
Liberman couldnt draw flies in old MacDonalds barn, til he added Pam to the "team".... it's shame here... shes wearin clothes! 1st time ive seen that..lol
It's a clone. Jim Lieberman never owned/drove this car.
I now Jungle Pam in real life and I now George "Hollywood" Reidner
5.78 ... I don't think so .......
To much air to the tires
Well if that really had been Jungle Pam she would have been in Hot Pants and a bra-less T shirt...LOL
oneforliberty Ya' have to keep in mind: Jungle Pam is no longer a spring chicken
2 right she would have . j. she was Hot on the Track
Gyyyuuuuii
im sure these kind of appearances stir some sad emotions in pam
