Don German was the winningest class 4 (the true class 4 back in the day, lwb 4×4) driving “Kitty I”, a stretched jeep willies. This truck is the works of over 15 years in the making with well over 30 years experience in the building of off-road vehicles. Don and Chris did an amazing job building this with old skool tricks Don picked up along the way.
Neat to see this! I had the opportunity to hang in the pits and watch Don race “Kitty 1″ aka “KittyWompus” in the mid 80′s. Enjoyed every minute of it, a great family and team.
