Notes: According to Drag News, Mar. 4, 1955, the world record, sometimes reported as 143.05, was actually 147.05 mph. It was driven by Bob Alsenz and powered by an Ardun-Merc. According to Drag News, this same car (Lakewood Special), on March 20, 1955, won the A/FD class at Pomona on March 20, clocking 135.33 mph, and again driven by Alsenz. Alsenz had also set a track record in the Ardun-Merc engined dragster at Paradise Mesa on Jan. 9, clocking 138.88 mph. There is sufficient documentation to show that the Lakewood Auto Parts Special, an A/FD powered by an Ardun-Merc, and driven by Bob Alsenz, set a world record at Santa Ana on Feb. 20, 1955, of 147.05 mph. - MB; Photo: San Bernardino County Sun, Mar. 20, 1955 - MB |

Notes: Chrisman was at Lions on Jun 20 when he made a pretty amazing run. As he was nearing the lights, the pressure plate blew, which threw off both chains. The car still ran 9.04/154.63.; At the start of the year, Wayne Reed, from Long Beach, joined the others, bringing with him a new motor. On Jan 18 at Lions, they were breaking Reed's new engine, only recording best times of 10.27 and 148.27 mph, but still managed to win Top Eliminator. On Jan 25 at Lions, the engine was doing better, and they clocked 9.63. Photo: George Klass Collection - MB |

Notes: During the '56 season, he raced at Pomona, Santa Ana, Lions, and mainly at Colton, his home track. During the season, he racked up 28 Top Eliminator wins. He raced in what was called Open Gas to open the season at Colton on Jan. 15 with 118.32 mph. Early in the season, he switched over to running on fuel. On Feb. 5 at Colton, he beat Dudley Stauffacher driving the belly tank B & B Construction dragster in a match race. Bradley clocked a best of 122.75 mph. In losing, Dud Stauffacher had to ride a kid's bike the length of the strip as part of the match race requirements. Each week, Bradley made little improvements to better his times. On Feb. 26 at Colton, he turned 126.13 mph. On Apr. 8, he clocked 127.93 mph. On July 1, he turned 135.58 mph. He followed that up a week later with a TE victory and a new Colton track record 136.88 mph. A week later, he claimed another TE win at Pomona with 135.32 mph. On Aug. 26 at Santa Ana, he turned 10.33 at 136.30 mph. At Lions on Sep. 3, he turned 10.41 at 135.85 mph. Back at his home track on Oct. 14, he grabbed another TE win with 138.40 mph. A week later, he garnered another TE victory at 10.26 with 140.62 mph. And then again at Colton on Nov. 4, he took another TE win coupled with a 141. 28 mph clocking. The wins just kept coming. On Nov. 11, he clocked 141.42 mph en route to another win. On Dec. 6 at Santa Ana, he garnered his 28th Top Eliminator win of the season and set a world record for flathead dragsters with 145.46 mph.

Notes: Set both ends of the record at the start of NHRA National Record certification: Atco, NJ, 7/13/60 at 9.066/168.85.; He regularly raced at York U.S. 30-almost weekly except for occasional forays elsewhere. At York, on June 4, he turned 8.95 at 169.00 mph. The following week at York, he took Top Eliminator at 169.811 mph with a national record time of 8.84. This accomplishment and beating Tommy Ivo at a match race at York on July 3 with a time of 8.87 at 169.00 mph brought him a measure of national recognition. Minnesota Dragways paid him to appear to race against Bruce Norman and the Big Wheel dragster on July 31. A week later, at Petersburg Airport in Virginia, Tucci was racing the A/Comp Austin Bantam coupe of the Lickliter Brothers. Tucci took the win, but things went awry with his opponent's vehicle behind him. A clutch explosion started several things happening that resulted in the coupe being unable to steer or stop. It plowed into the rear of Tucci's slowing car. Tucci suffered severe spinal injuries, paralyzing him from the waist down. Although confined to a wheelchair, Bilbow built another dragster that he drove with Tucci serving as his crew chief. At the end of the year, they took the new dragster on a West Coast barnstorming tour. Photo: George Klass Collection - MB |

Notes: Ran on alcohol. The US Nationals at Oklahoma City was a gas-only event, and Heath was way out of the running, only able to coax 105 mph out of his dragster. It was a far cry from the previous year when he won the title. Photo: "Drag Racing Hero's: Dragsters" website - MB |
