I graduated from Banning HS in Wilmington in 1955. I knew both Jim and Orville first as two guys who ran a 1950 Oldsmobile (??) on fuel at Lions Dragstrip in Dominguez now Carson. A little fuzzy but I think they both attended Harbor JC..
The official track photographer was Jim Kelly.His pix were published in Drag News and there may be pix of both Jim and Orville or the car in the archives.
La Corrida needed just the boost they gave it.
