Dan Jirus Sr. and Jr.

I started racing at Oswego back in 1971. I was Brute Eliminator in 1975 and still have the Coke-Cola jacket they gave me and still fits. In 1976 I ran 2 cars, my favorite 63 falcon sprint named Buttons The Berwyn Dog a name my Dad gave the car and a 65 mustang fastback with a 440 6 pack which ran 10:37 best. I'd like to find that car. I wish I never sold it. I sold it to someone in Wauconda. I'd like to get it back! I raced at Oswego till it closed in 1979. Then started racing at U.S.30,41 in Indiana, and of course DA GROVE ha ha but not as often. With my first wife I had 4 children. She always at the end hated my cars so I said things must leave in reverse so the first to go was her. I remarried in 1998 and had 1 more child a boy now 5 years old along with a stepdaughter, now 7 years old. My oldest daughter 32 years old has a 67 GTO. My oldest son 29 years old has the silver Nova. For the Falcon I'm going to redo her a little this year. I launched my motor getting it ready for the World of Wheels in 2003. I want or I need to install a set of axle floaters in and cage it. I've started to think about a motor but just not sure yet. I've always driven a 4 speed but am thinking about an auto w/trans brake. I can't wait to get it together so I can show the younger one how its done. It would be neat to race against him. Let me know the dates so I can attend. Looking forward to meeting you and the rest. Thanks again. Dan
