Notes: Times confirmed via LA Times newspaper report (11/14/55 edition). It also ran 151.26 in October 1955 (per Bret Kepner, the 151.26 on October 9 was the third official car over 150 and tied Mickey Thompson's 151.26). The times were faster than the 1955 top fuel record (Mickey Thompson at 151.26).; Drag News (10/28/55, p. 5) confirms Duncan's name was Harry, not Bob. LA Times and other newspapers mistakenly called him Bob. Harry owned the engine. The bright purple dragster first ran at Pomona on April 3, setting a new track record 141.28 mph. On April 17, they towed to Rankin Field in Tulare but kept the speed down to 126.58 mph because of the short shutdown. The following week at Pomona, they won the A/FD class and Top Eliminator with 138.98 mph. A week later, on May 1, they got an identical Top Speed and won Top Eliminator with 138.98 mph. They took several months off to work on the car to see if they couldn't coax some more out of it. They were very successful in a big way. On October 9 at Lions, they 151.26 mph, a new track record. The following week he took Top Eliminator at Santa Ana with another fast 149.68 mph. He closed out the season by towing to Perryville, Arizona, where the NHRA Nationals were finishing up their final eliminations that had been washed out at Great Bend two months earlier. It was also the Arizona State Championships. While not in the running for the Nationals eliminations, Losinski turned in the meet's fastest speed of 151.77 mph. This was the fastest speed ever recorded at a sanctioned NHRA event. Photo: San Bernardino County Sun, April 9, 1955 - MB

Notes: Fritz Voigt had Glen Pingry drive his dragster in 1955. They mostly ran at Colton and Pomona in the Open Gas class. He ran 128.57 mph at Colton on Mar. 13. He may have run on fuel once at Pomona when they took Top Eliminator on Apr. 10 with a 137.82 mph clocking. They also ran 134.93 mph at Morrow Drag Strip in Colton on Apr. 3, which might have also been on fuel. He really had the car running well by the time of the U.S. Nationals at Great Bend in October. He won the Open Gas class with a speed of 129.95 mph and established a new national record in the class of 132.74 mph. Photo: San Bernardino County Sun, Mar. 27, 1955 - MB

Notes: During the '56 season, he raced at Pomona, Santa Ana, Lions, and mainly at Colton, his home track. During the season, he racked up 28 Top Eliminator wins. He raced in what was called Open Gas to open the season at Colton on Jan. 15 with 118.32 mph. Early in the season, he switched over to running on fuel. On Feb. 5 at Colton, he beat Dudley Stauffacher driving the belly tank B & B Construction dragster in a match race. Bradley clocked a best of 122.75 mph. In losing, Dud Stauffacher had to ride a kid's bike the length of the strip as part of the match race requirements. Each week, Bradley made little improvements to better his times. On Feb. 26 at Colton, he turned 126.13 mph. On Apr. 8, he clocked 127.93 mph. On July 1, he turned 135.58 mph. He followed that up a week later with a TE victory and a new Colton track record 136.88 mph. A week later, he claimed another TE win at Pomona with 135.32 mph. On Aug. 26 at Santa Ana, he turned 10.33 at 136.30 mph. At Lions on Sep. 3, he turned 10.41 at 135.85 mph. Back at his home track on Oct. 14, he grabbed another TE win with 138.40 mph. A week later, he garnered another TE victory at 10.26 with 140.62 mph. And then again at Colton on Nov. 4, he took another TE win coupled with a 141. 28 mph clocking. The wins just kept coming. On Nov. 11, he clocked 141.42 mph en route to another win. On Dec. 6 at Santa Ana, he garnered his 28th Top Eliminator win of the season and set a world record for flathead dragsters with 145.46 mph.

Notes: Dode Martin was a member of the original/first Shafters car club in Fallbrook, CA, but newspapers never reported the name of the driver of the roadster; probably driven by several club members. They did most of their racing at Colton, capturing frequent class and Top Eliminator wins. They also kept breaking the B/MR class strip records repeatedly in 1955.

Notes: Larry Holmes drove this belly lakester dragster in 1953, but newspapers didn't report the name of the driver in 1954. The car's run at Morrow Drag Strip in December set a track record in the lakester class. Photo: San Bernardino County Sun, Dec. 11, 1954 - MB

Notes: Running mostly at Colton, his home track, Bradley was a frequent X Class winner with his four-barrel engined dragster. In his first outing of the season, he turned 76.59 mph. On Feb. 6, he turned 70.31 mph. He may have been running on gas at those races. On May 8, running on fuel at Pomona, he turned 87.89 mph. From at least that point on, he ran on fuel. On May 22 at Colton, he turned 98.57 mph. The following week at Colton, he set a new strip record with 105.63 mph. At that point, he was really off and running. On June 5 at Colton, he set another new strip record with 109 mph. On June 26, it was another new strip record with 111.94 mph at Colton. At Pomona, on July 4, he turned 110.97 mph. Back at Colton on Aug. 13, he turned 114.21 mph. It seemed that every week he just went faster and faster. On October 30, he installed a new engine that put him into the Open Gas class and turned 119 mph at Colton. On Nov. 6 at Colton, he turned 118 mph in Open Gas.
