RIP EJ Potter- my little tribute to the 'Michigan Madman'

[Chuck Most]

He passed away April 30, but I just saw it today in the Gratiot County Herald. Yes, I'm aware of Mr. Shelby's passing, as well.

I built this a couple of years back, it is an Allison W-24 powered pulling tractor, based very loosely on EJ's 'Double Ugly'. Though most people remember EJ's V8-powered drag bikes, he went on to become very successful in the tractor pulling arena in the '70's. This model was done as a tribute to him.
