Bob Smith pilots the "UNTOUCHABLE" Jet Dragster

Here are some rare photos of one of the pioneers of jet car drag racing!

Bob Smith drove the "UNTOUCHABLE" Jet Dragster in the early 1960s.
He was given the name "JETCARBOB" by publisher Doris Herbert of Drag New in
1963 and the name stuck with him throughout his career.

    

Bob and the "UNTOUCHABLE"
were in the Guiness Book of World Records for 13 years with a 287.704 MPH
run set at Kingdon Dragstrip on January 13, 1963.

Another proud moment in Bob's career was the induction of him and Romeo Palamides deceased builder of the "UNTOUCHABLE" into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame this past March 18, 1999.
