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: After a highly successful 1959 season in which Jacono won 129 trophies, he followed it with an equally special 1960 season. His best time in 1959 with the car was 9.97 at 145 mph. He scored numerous Top Eliminator wins at Vineland in 1960, also setting a new track record on Aug. 28. Racing against Walt Arfons Green Monster #16 at Langhorne Speedway, he set a national 1/8th-mile record on Nov. 6. Photo: Hot Rod, 2005, p. 60 - MB
