Hello everyone. My name is Jim Locke and I was Ed Lowthers crew chief from 1979 Thru 1983 on his A/P GT-1 car. Ed passed away of a heart attack 4-15-1999. He was on his way to deliver a eulogy to an old sprintcar driver friend in Allentown Pa. Ed was hands down the funniest man I have ever met and was one of my dearest friends. He loved the Cobra except to be honest he said they had no brakes. Don't yell at me! I remember him telling me, with a laugh, that he had gotten 10 grand for the car when he sold it to Sammy Feinstien and feeling like he had really made out on the deal! His first wife Jeannie, the blond in some of the pictures, still lives in Pittsburgh. His second wife Peggy lives in Ormand Beach Florida along with all of Ed's trophys and photos. Some more info can be seen at steeltowncorvettes.com (He became one hell of a Corvette driver when He sold the Cobra. He loved big cars!) Jim Locke
