Default Art Arfons

Found this shot of Art Arfons on a local FB page. Taken in the 50's/ 60's behind the family mill a few miles south of Akron Ohio in Springfield twp.

Awesome pics!
Always had an affinity for the jet cars over the years as my uncle raced this one in Australia in the late 60's.

Anything Arfons is always cool, thanks for posting!
Here's the shot I posted a few weeks back w/ Dale's Dynamiting Truck in the background also a couple other Arfons pics from past threads too.

I think about 1984 I saw one of his relatives on a quad atv with a small jet on it. Crazy.
That reminds me theres a local exotic car dealer here who had a motorcycle with a jet in it. I am thinking he said it was a helicopter starter engine?? He had taken it to another dealer and backed into a parking place. When he went to leave caught the mulch on fire!

Heard a story where he tied a J79 jet engine to some trees in his yard -- pointed it out to the swamp and fired it up to test it. Pissed off his neighbors!
