Welcome another new X-Cup entry, this time from Ponca City, a small town in Oklahoma that has been known to produce a number of Great Race participants. J.D. Hanks is a recognizable name in the vintage car rallying world, and he’s leading a group of fine young gentlemen in the 2012 Hemmings Motor News Great Race, presented by Hagerty. J.D. has a thing for four-cylinder engines, so these youngsters will be piloting a well-traveled Model A pickup during the race.
The Ponca City X-Cup team from left to right: J.D. Hanks, Eric Riggs, Austin Radka and John Neisen. Not shown: Bob Hanks, J. D.’s brother (from Oklahoma city)
