This was my first actual drag race car. Powered by a 213 Cu. In. Model B engine with dual carbs.

These pictures were taken at Oswego Dragway, Oswego IL on May 14,1959. Best speed was 76.96, best E.T. was 18.54. The only problem I had was that my friend John Kleinemeir with his Crossley powered dragster kept getting to the other end before me.
