The chassis was completed in early 1962 by Kent Fuller and the body was made by Doug Kruse. By June of 1962 the car made its first run at the Fontana, Ca. drag strip. The car was originally driven by Ron Hampshire, but Ron was soon drafted into the Army! I took over the driver's job in late 1962 and stayed in the seat until I stopped running the car.

The engine was a 339 Cubic Inch Displacement (CID) Chevrolet small block, equipped with a 6-71 supercharger. The car started out running 172 mph with an elapsed time (ET) of 9.00 seconds. By the end of 1963 the speed had risen to 181 mph with an ET of 8.40 seconds. The little Chevrolet ran well, setting records and winning a lot of races; but it was unreliable. The car lost races when the engine broke.

This picture was taken at the 1663 NHRA Winter Nationals at Pomona Ca. This was the first national event for this car. And it qualified in a field that included some of the fastest in the country: Jack Chrisman, Gordon Collet, Danny Ongais, and the Peters and Frank twin-engine "Freight Train". The little Chevrolet was over matched this time, and the "Freight Train" won this meet at 178.21mph and 8.82 sec. elapsed time.
