I've read about Potter before as the guy who built the electric drag car that was like a slot car w/ supply feed cables he'd lay down on the track also a jet bike and other cool ideas!
Note the pictured bike has a Whizzer gastank!

RIP

----I watched E.J. run at New England Dragway a couple of times back in the late 60s. Once I was up at the big end and watched as he ran the entire quarter on the rear wheel. They called him the &quot;Michigan Madman&quot; for a reason, but he was a great showman.......Bill S

Aw, man. This has just got to stop.

EJ was a staple of my growing up years here in southeast Michigan.
