Notes: Originally built for the Salt Flats in 1949 by Laird "Lefty" Pierce; bought by Raul "Sonny" Balcaen in 1953, who installed the 302ci GMC straight-6 and reconfigured the body with a hand-formed aluminum nose. In 1957, Iacono bought it for $1,500 less engine. By 1958, he had it ready to race on the drag strip. Photo: Motor Trend, Apr. 10, 2017, online article |

Notes: Dode Martin was a member of the original/first Shafters car club in Fallbrook, CA, but newspapers never reported the name of the driver of the roadster; probably driven by several club members. They did most of their racing at Colton, capturing frequent class and Top Eliminator wins. They also kept breaking the B/MR class strip records repeatedly in 1955.

Notes: In its first appearance at Morrow Drag Strip, Colton, CA, it narrowly lost to a fuel bike that clocked 121 mph in the Top Eliminator finals on July 30, 1955. Newspapers didn't report the name of the driver, but club members might have shared driving duties. Photo: Jalopy Journal, "Drag Cars in Motion" category, 8/15/2018 - MB |

Notes: Newspaper drag race results for drag strips throughout California never gave driver's names for members of the Shortblocks car club. A Corvette engine replaced the Merc engine in the summer when the car raced at San Gabriel Valley Drag Strip on Aug. 12, 1956, clocking a disappointing 96.98 mph.
