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
