Back in the day, Kim Mason was one of the
crowd favorites anytime he'd venture out of Twin Falls to Firebird to run his
bright yellow `40 Willys coupe. He still owns the fat-fendered gasser today,
but it's all been redone in gloss black paint and has more of a street-appeal
to it. But you never know, one of these days we might find Kim putting the
Willys back on the track. One of the best pure drivers during his time, Kim
could shift through the gears, many times with the wheels several feet off the
ground on it's way to a 10-second pass. This past season he and the family
have made many trips to Firebird competing in the Junior Dragster
division. We wouldn't doubt the Mason crew will be returning for more action
in 2008 in the Junior ranks (and hopefully one day with their bad boy Willys
coupe, too).
