Notes: This is the same car run under the name American. After Jimmy Taylor left, Bob tried Raven chutes for a while, at this time Bob owned and drove it. It was a J-46 and for the times I have nothing, but newspaper accounts to go by. The times didn't seem as important as the show and a safe run. If they kept the time slips I haven't found them. Yes, we lived in Akron at the time. This is also the car that Roger Gustin bought and renamed The Time Machine. - Chip Tatroe, 5/12/12

Notes: Arfons apparently debuted the new "Cyclops" on the backstretch of the Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Fla., as previewed in the 1/06/62 Daytona Beach Herald-Journal. Arfons said Cyclops was the 17th in the line of Green Monsters. Cyclops was intended primarily as a Bonneville land speed record car and not a dragster. It was featured in the June 1962 Motor Trend. - RT
