Notes: Grimes may have driven this car at a few races in 1956, but he had the best times in it with other drivers doing the driving. Jack Moss drove it at an NHRA regional meet in Amarillo on Aug. 19, clocking 116.88 mph. Bert Kessler, from Matton, Illinois, drove it at the ATAA World Series of Drag Racing event at Lawrenceville, Illinois, on Aug. 26, running 117.493 mph. But Everett Goosic recorded the fastest times in the car, with runs all over 120 mph at meets at Perryville in November and December. Photo: Arizona Republic, Aug. 19, 1956 - MB

Notes: Although Grimes may have driven the car at some events, he did best with other drivers. Lloyd Hough of Phoenix drove the car at Casa Grande Drag Strip on Mar. 10, 1957. Then, on Apr. 14, Lewis Rogers drove the car for the first time at Perryville. He did well enough that Grimes had him drive the car at the 1957 NHRA U.S. National Championships in Oklahoma City. Rogers drove the car to a class win with a clocking of 11.59 at 121.62 mph. Photo: Early Drag Racing Photos, p. 50, in Jalopy Journal, The H.A.M.B. - MB

Notes: In his Fiat altered, Grimes repeatedly upped his NHRA national record in A//A. On Mar. 2 at the Casa Grande Airport, Grimes set a new track record in A/C, a new class, clocking 120.32 mph. It was reported in the Arizona Republic (9/2/58) that Grimes did not compete in 1958, undoubtedly meaning that he had others do the driving for him. Lewis Rogers, who drove the car at the 1957 Nationals, was probably the driver in 1958. In April, the Arizona Republic (4/14/58) reported that Rogers was a partner in the car with Grimes. At the Drag News Open on June 8, 1958, at the Chandler Associated Drag Strip, Grimes reportedly installed a supercharger to be more competitive with Californian Glen Ward. In late 1958, Grimes got involved in an advisory role in a dragster built by Al Eshenbaugh and Buddy Free. Photo: Pomona Progress Bulletin, July 7, 1959

Notes: The Arizona Republic (4/24/59) reported that Grimes had a potential buyer for his altered who would take ownership of the car at a race in Henderson, Nevada. That sale didn't happen as the Grimes-Lewis altered kept racing but in a limited fashion. At Pomona on July 5, Rogers set a new NHRA national record for both time and speed.

Notes: This roadster coupe was also called Jitterbug. The newspaper report (Bakersfield California, 12/8/53) of Duncan's track record at Bakersfield of 138.217 mph is questionable. Other newspaper reports (Pomona Progress Bulletin, 11/19/54) indicated that its best speeds were just over 126 mph. On Dec. 13, 1953, Duncan's Doodlebug set a track record in C/CC of 121.45 mph. Duncan's Doodlebug is prominently featured at Santa Ana in a great video ("Old School Hot Rodding") on YouTube uploaded by Duncan's great grandson.

Notes: Duncan apparently ran this car in two classes -A/CC and B/CC - or he had two cars that were almost identical. At the 2-day race at Pomona on Apr. 3/4, the Duncan Doodle Bug in A Fuel Modified Coupe/Sedan won its class with 116.88 mph. At the same event, the Duncan Jitterbug in B Fuel Modified Coupe/Sedan won its class with 126.58 mph. It set a new track record in B/CC at Pomona on Dec. 12, 1954. The newspaper report identified it as Duncan No. 2. It is featured in a YouTube video ("Old School Hot Rodding") at Santa Ana in the early 1950s uploaded by Duncan's great-grandson.
