Notes: Dr. Richard Spence, a Kansas City osteopath, began racing this FX Cuda in 1965, but 1966 was the year of his greatest success. He won Mr. Stock Eliminator at the AHRA World Championships at Lions on July 31. He was regularly booked to run match races at Springfield-Ozark Dragway. At that drag strip on July 3, he matched his best time of 9.29 that he turned at the meet at Lions. On Sep. 11 at Springfield, he clocked an even quicker 8.96.

Notes: In 1954, Waters set track records throughout California. He was named the West Coast Champion in newspapers for his Top Eliminator win at the 2-day NHRA regional meet at Santa Maria on June 13. He clocked 121.95 mph. He couldn't be beat at Bakersfield during the 1954 season, wracking up Top Eliminator wins at every monthly event. He ran in the Class F classification at Fresno on June 27. In the early 1950s, there was no systematic national classification in drag racing. Drag racing classification differed from strip to strip. But in general, Class F included roadsters and dragsters with any modifications and any fuel. Research could not determine what kind of fuel Waters ran in 1954.

Notes: Although Pabst partnered with A. O. Gatti in 1956, it is not certain if Gatti continued with the dragster in 1957. And while a Cad motor was run in the dragster in mid-December 1956, it is not known if the Olds engine that was so successful in 1956 was put back n the dragster. By July 1957, Pabst was joined by Joe Debelus in the dragster operation and they had dropped in a Chrysler. Photo: Fort Lauderdale News, Nov. 19, 1956 - MB
