Notes: Paul Nicolini and Harry Duncan sold their temperamental Sidewinder in 1958 to Chuck Jones from Orange, and Joe Mailliard, from Long Beach. They divided the labor, Jones handling the chassis, and Mailliard was the tuner. They got Jack Chrisman to be the driver. One of the first outings was at Santa Ana on Aug 17, where Chrisman turned 9.89 at 147.55 mph. On Sep 20 at Lions, he won Top Eliminator with 9.96 at 149.25 mph. The next day at Santa Ana, he took Top Eliminator with 10.11 at 151,57 mph. On Oct 11 at Lions, he won Top Eliminator with best times of 9.67 at 152.02 mph. A week later, at Lions, he ran 9.59 at 154.37 mph. They were periodically plagued with flinging chains, a common occurrence with sidewinder dragsters. On Nov 1 at Lions, they broke in a new engine, clocking 9.96 and 155.44 mph before the end of the meet. On Nov 23 at Lions, they closed out the year with 9.86 at 151.00 mph.

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
