Jarvis asked "How old is Jim Oddy"?
Not sure, but checking up on here in an interview he started racing in 1959, after doing a bunch of engine and chassis building.
So, i'm just guessing he has to be going on to 80 possibly?
He has twin boys born in 77, who worked for him, but it appears that he sold the shop and retired in 2007.
The Famous 48 Austin he built in 66 after winning the 65 nationals in a homebuilt B/G anglia, then went match racing with K. S. Pitman, Stone-Woods and Cook, Jr Thompson, and Ohio Geo., Montgomery.
The guy had an impecable reputation for Quality engine building, a straight shooter, and his finess at running low ET, and fastest MPH.

He's got a set of Stantuff shocks in the back out of The ADRL Promod he was tuning .Painted the shocks grey so not to attract attention lol.He can get down any track they race on :)
