Notes: Gary Wood and Ron Colson teamed up on this gas dragster. It was unusual in that it used a rear suspension. Gary built the frame and fabricated a spring-shock system. The idea was to transfer the weight so that the rear end could act as a fulcrum instead of having the pinion climb the rear gear and causing wheelstands. Each rear shock had a load capacity of 1,000 lbs. The engine in the "Stiletto" was a '64 Chevy 327. A 3/5/8 stroker crank from Crankshaft Company brought the displacement up to 368. The rods were also from CSC, and the pistons were from JE. Isky supplied the cam. The blower manifold was from Weiand. John Reed set up the GMC 6/71 for the team, and a Hilborn two-holer injection unit was used. Gary also built the headers. The power was put to the ground by an Olds rear with 4.10 gears, and the car's weight was only 950 lbs. In June, Colson qualified #4 at Bristol for the NHRA Springnationals with an 8.64/177.51.; At Rockford on May 2, he ran 8.50 at 173 mph. At Cordova, on Aug. 26, he ran 8.733 at 183.28 mph.

Notes: Ron was at Fremont on February 26, where he ran a 7.90. This was really good as he was running a Chevy, and few could keep up with the Hemis at this time. Colson was at St. Louis in June for the AHRA 1/8 Mile Springnationals. He exploded a supercharger Saturday, and in less than one hour, he rebuilt it and returned to win Top Gas on Sunday with a record 5.45. Ron qualified #26 at Indy for the NHRA US Nationals with an 8.08/187, but he lost to Walt Rhoades in the first round. The motor was a stroked 396.; At Cordova on May 7, he ran 8.01. A week later, at Oswego, he ran 8.11 at 197.89 mph. A week after, he ran 8.00 at 188 mph at Detroit Dragway. At the 14th World Series of Drag Racing at Cordova on August 25, several newspapers reported that he ran 6.892 in time trials, but that would have been more than a second under his times during the season. That looks very suspicious, but to further complicate matters, a gas dragster driven by George Smith from Kenner, Louisiana, was reported to have been clocked at 6.048. Very puzzling.

Notes: Cyr & Hopper raced gas dragsters, then went to fuel, then returned to gas during the 1959 season, per the 4/11/59 Drag News. In that issue, with a cover headline shouting "158.75 ON GAS - CYR," it was reported that his Five Cycle Special set a new gas record at Long Beach: 9.61/158.75. We have a previously entered but unattributed 9.51/160.14. Was that on fuel or later in the year on gas? - RT; Photo: "'50s Drags in Color," Pat Ganahl's Rod & Custom website - MB

Notes: Kent Fuller's first car.; This beautiful enclosed dragster was built by the owners of Daddy's Auto Body in Burbank. They did it first class in every respect: chassis by Kent Fuller, upholstery by Tony Nancy, Buick engine specialist Max Balchowsky, and their own fiberglass body. Johnson, age 19, and Zeller, age 23, shared driving duties. They principally raced at San Fernando. One of their earliest races at San Fernando was on Sep. 8, where they ran 116.88 mph. Don Johnson took Top Eliminator at San Fernando with 11.61 at 122.95 mph. On Dec. 22, they turned 11.30 at 125.00 mph. By October 1958, Johnson had teamed up with Tommy Ivo, a fellow Burbank resident, to help Ivo with his race car. The beautiful car was sold to Tom McCourry at some point.
