Jimmy "Quick Shift" Keegan was a youth in Nevada that enjoyed racing anyone who would accept his challenge in 1957.
Biography
In 1957, on leaving the Atomic Cafe, Jimmy Keegan, his girlfriend Suzie, and his friends Tommy Shiner and Lindy came across a military convoy on the road.
Goaded on by his companions, Jimmy raced the lead staff car driven by a "Sgt. Franklin" in his '32 Ford Roadster before simply driving on, firm in the belief that his opponent could not match the speed of his vehicle when the convoy had to make the turnoff to a distant military base. The teens went on their merry way, never suspecting that the "American" soldiers were actually Russians soldiers.
