drag racer, nicknamed "Jungle Jim." In 2001, he was named #17 on the
list of the Top 50 NHRA drivers of all time and is in the International
Drag Racing Hall of Fame. Liberman was known for driving backwards at
100 miles per hour after doing his burnout.Liberman was a flamboyant
showman who primarily toured the United States at drag racing match race
events. During his career, he averaged an estimated 100 events per year
during the 1970s. He was regarded by many as the "greatest showman the
drag strip has ever experienced." He drove a Vega funny car, in three
distinct incarnations. The first Vega, painted candy blue, appeared in
August 1972, the 2nd was a darker blue, and the third version (similar
to this model) made its debut in 1974.
