Notes: Lefty Mudersbach teamed up with Tom Grove of Anaheim and Chey Herbert to field an in-line injected Chevy motored twin-engined dragster in 1959. Lefty took it to Santa Ana on Jan. 13 for its first outing with just a single engine to road-test it. He turned 11.46 at 142.85 mph. Performing well, he took that engine out and dropped the second engine in to test it on Jan. 25, again at Santa Ana. It also did well, turning 11.30 at 141.75 mph. Its next outing was with both motors at Bakersfield on Feb. 1, where he took gas Top Eliminator with 9.83 at 153,84 mph. Two weeks later, he won the A/D class at Riverside with 9.51 at 155.46 mph. In March, he ran at Lions twice, clocking 9.50 at 152.80 mph on Mar. 8 and 9.66 at 155,97 mph. Tom Grove was still with Lefty on Mar. 29 when he ran 9.54 at 156.79 mph at San Fernando, but then Grove went his separate way to do his own thing. Lefty first had a run over 160 mph at San Gabriel on May 2 when he turned 161.29 mph. He also began getting faster, tuning 9.21 at San Fernando the very next week. It was that way the entire 1959 season, improving steadily each outing, wracking up wins, and improving his times at drag strips in the Southland, particularly at Lions, where he set a couple of Drag News 1320 records.

Notes: Throughout the latter part of the 1959 season, newspapers touted this twin-engine dragster as the world's "fastest unsupercharged, carbureted gas dragster." From the beginning of the season to the end, they liked to point out that the dragster had twelve carburetors. At no time in 1959 did they run injectors on the Chevy engines. At the beginning of the season, the dragster was known as the Mudersbach-Groves-Herbert Cams Special. Tom Groves of Anaheim was an early partner in the endeavor, but by March, Groves was no longer a part of the dragster operation. They picked Santa Ana to do their maiden testing outings, opting to run each engine singly before putting both engines in the dragster for full-out competition. Their first outing was at Santa Ana on Jan. 13, running in B/D. They turned 11.41 at 142.85 mph on that first outing. Then a week later, on Jan. 25 at Santa Ana, they tested the other Chee motor and turned 11.30 at 141.74 mph. From then on, it was all systems go as a twin-engine, unblown, carbureted gas screamer. They debuted at Riverside on Feb. 15 and took top gas eliminator with 9.51 at 155.46 mph. At Lions on Mar. 8, they took Low ET of the meet with 9.50 and a speed of 152.80 mph. Returning to Lions on Mar. 15, they got Top Eliminator with 9.66 at 155.97 mph. Drag News had just started what would evolve into their 1320 Records program, initially calling it the Quarter Mile Acceleration Records. Their 155.97 mph run at Lions on Mar. 15 was good enough to give them the Top Speed record in that new program. On Apr. 26 at Lions, they turned 154.63 for the meet's Top Speed. San Gabriel Valley Drag Strip dropped their cubic inch limitations for dragsters which permitted twin-engine dragsters to compete on May 2. Mudersbach took advantage of that new policy and got Top Speed and Low ET of the meet at 9.42 at 161.29 mph. On May 9, he took the Top Eliminator at Lions with 9.46 at 160.14 mph. The next day he ran at San Fernando, getting the top time at 9.21 at 160.42 mph. On May 16 at San Gabriel, he took Top Eliminator at 9.40 at 158.73 mph. The next day at Riverside, he took top gas eliminator with 9.70 at 155.00 mph. Things were really clicking for Lefty, and the wins were piling up, but then, for some reason, racing halted for the Herbert Cam Special until September. Research could not determine why the dragster took an almost four-month "vacation." Lefty got a couple of driving jobs with other dragsters during this interim. They didn't compete again until late September. They returned to racing at Lions on Sep. 26 when they clocked 9.30 at 157 mph. They returned to Lions a week later, on Oct. 3, and took the Top Eliminator with 9.28 at 158.17 mph. They were back in the groove. The following week on Oct. 10, at Lions, they got the new Drag News 1320 record for elapsed time with 9.17 and turning 158.45. Lefty's pit crew of Myron Koza and Roger Crowe was given much credit. At Riverside on Oct. 18, they turned 9.52 at 155.70 mph. They returned to Lions and their winning ways as they got Top Eliminator on Oct. 17 with 9.39 at 158.45 mph. On Oct. 31 at Lions, they clocked 9.20 at 159.29 mph. A week later, on Nov. 7 at Lions, they turned 9.13 at 161.00 mph. On Nov. 15, they towed north to appear at Cotati, where they took top gas eliminator at 9.l14 at 161.40 mph. On Nov. 21, they were back at Lions, where they got another 9.13 clocking at 159.85 mph. On Nov. 28 at Lions, they ran 9.18 at 161.57 mph. The next day at Riverside, they wrapped up the year with a gas dragster win at 9.32 at 157.58 mph.

Notes: On the drawing boards for three years and in construction for six months, this dual-engined $8,000 dragster debuted at Lions with Fritz Voigt driving on June 21. Kenny Droesbeck from Norwalk, a partner with Paul Nicolini in the Sidewinder dragster, was a partner in the operation. Voigt and Mickey Thompson shared driving duties until they towed it back east with the intention of racing at the U.S. Nationals. En route, they stopped at Bonneville Salt Flats, where Thompson ran 294 mph, becoming the fastest living American driver. After Bonneville, they returned to California, never getting to the Nationals. His appetite whetted for land speed racing, Mickey returned to begin work on his 4-engine Challenger I. Before going to the Salt Flats, Mickey made some good runs in his dual-engine dragster. The day after the car's debut at Lions, Mickey drove at San Fernando on June 22, clocking 10.45 at 147.29 mph. On July 6 at Pomona, Mickey turned 9.80 at 146.10 mph. At San Gabriel Valley Drag Strip on July 20, Mickey got Top Eliminator, clocking best times of 10.04 and 144.92 mph. In September, he began work on Challenger I. Photo: Early Drag Racing Photos, Jalopy Journal, The H.A.M.B., p. 8 - MB

Notes: Texas ET Record. Hill's dragster was a very light 1075 pounds. He attended the NHRA National Championships at Oklahoma City, but newspapers didn't report his results. But when he returned to Texas, he emerged with successive wins that marked him as a force to be reckoned with. At the Texas State Championships at Caddo Mills on Sep. 6-7, he was runner-up to Jack Moss's twin Chevy-engined dragster in the finals for the A/D class. His best time of the meet was an impressive 9.95 seconds. On Oct. 5 at Freeway Drag Strip in Houston, he took top eliminator with 135 mph. He also got low ET of the meet. He repeated his top eliminator victory at Freeway Drag Strip on Oct. 19. He also set a new track record for A gas dragsters with 9.93 at 139.75 mph. In the first round of top eliminator, he beat Rodney Singer's blown Cad-engined dragster with 9.96 at 138 mph. He beat Linn Huit's Chrysler dragster in the next round with 10.07 at 136.36 mph. With his record-setting run, he beat J. F. Threadgill's Olds-engined A/FD in the top eliminator finals. He took a top eliminator win for the third consecutive time at Freeway Drag Strip on Nov. 9. He also clocked an unofficial 9.82-second run. En route to his TE win, he beat Mackey & Veselka (134.93 mph), Singer & Canton's blown Cad dragster (10.24 at 139.75 mph), and the final against Harold Stiefel's Pontiac dragster (10.19 at 135.95 mph). Afterward, Hill asked permission to make a single run and tied the strip's gas dragster record with 145.39 mph. (Photo: "Early drag racing photos," p.53, Jalopy Journal, The H.A.M.B. - MB

Notes: After his spectacular 1958 season, setting a world record twice for gas dragsters, Brown raced less frequently in 1959. He began the year at San Fernando on May 3, turning 160.42 mph. It was not accepted as a world record as he got to the track too late to run in eliminations, the requirement for it to be officially recognized. Dick Harryman, from Granada Hills, who built the engine, continued getting even more horsepower out of the motor. On July 5, he took Top Eliminator at San Fernando with a 9.26 at 156 mph. At San Gabriel on July 11, he got Top Speed with 157 mph. Newspapers also reported that he was running a sidewinder dragster in July. He died at Lions on Sep. 12 while testing Ronnie Scrima's dragster. Photo: George Klass Collection - MB

Notes: Del Nero and Patterson spent a few months building this dual-engine dragster, only to race it (as far as research could find) once-at the 2nd annual Smokers, Inc. - Drag Racers, Inc. World Championships at Bakersfield on Sep. 1/2 in A Open Gas. It won the A Gas Dragster class and Top Gas Eliminator. It ran two in-line Merc flathead engines. The front engine displaced 298 c.i., and the back motor was 268 c.i. They returned to their old single-engine set-up with an Olds engine a month later. Research could not find out why the twin-engine dragster had such a short life when it had been so successful at Bakersfield. - MB

Notes: On the drawing boards for three years and in construction for six months, this dual-engined, four-wheel-drive $8,000 dragster debuted at Lions with Fritz Voigt driving on June 21. He ran an impressive 9.93 and 149.50 mph. Kenny Droesbeck from Norwalk, a partner with Paul Nicolini in the Sidewinder dragster, was a partner in the operation. Voigt and Mickey Thompson shared driving duties until they towed it back east with the intention of racing at the U.S. Nationals. En route, they stopped at Bonneville Salt Flats, where Thompson ran 294 mph, becoming the fastest living American driver. After Bonneville, they returned to California, never getting to the Nationals. His appetite wetted for land speed racing, Mickey returned to begin work on his 4-engine Challenger I. Before going to the Salt Flats, Mickey made some good runs in his dual-engine dragster. The day after the car's debut at Lions, Mickey and Voigt both drove at San Fernando on June 22, Voigt clocking the best with 10.37 at 148.51 mph. On Aug. 2 at Lions, the last drag race before their departure east, Voigt drove but lost in the first round of eliminations. After Bonneville, they returned to California and focused attention on building Challenger I. Photo: George Klass Collection - MB

Notes: When Gene Adams picked a driver to race his gas dragster after Leonard Harris was killed, he picked a good one-Tom McEwen. McEwen began the season with a TE victory at Lions on Jan. 8, turning 9.34 at 176.47 mph. They ran the car a few times in the first quarter of the year but retired the dragster on a good note at Lions on Mar. 13. McEwen waded through five rounds in Top Eliminator to come out on top with a win with best times of 8.97 and 169.49 mph. That was the final race for that car, but Adams went to work building something special. The new car was ready for the June 17 race at Lions. On just its second run during time trials, McEwen clocked an impressive 8.97 at 169.82 mph. He came out on top with a TE victory-first time out. That was repeated for much of the rest of the '61 season. The next week he took a TE win at 8.84 and 171.45 mph and, in addition, bested Don Prudhomme in a two-out-of-three match race. The next day, June 25, he took TE at San Fernando with 9.03 at 178.50 mph. Back at Lions on July 1, he took TE runner-up with 8.94 at 170.13 mph. A week after that, he returned to his winning ways at Lions with an 8.99 TE win on July 8. A week after, he got another TE victory at Lions with 8.81 at 173.41 mph. There didn't seem to be anything stopping him from extending the streak. When the Olds engine needed repair, they would swap it out for a blown Chevy motor, but that was infrequent. On Aug. 19 at Lions, he set a national ET record with 8.62 and 173.04 mph. He towed the car back to Indianapolis for the U.S. Nationals and took runner-up in the AA/D class to Pete Robinson, clocking 8.90 and 168.53 mph. He finished the year with another TE victory at Lions with 8.74 at 174.41 mph. Photo: George Klass Collection - MB

Notes: Team aka Harryman, Brown & Frank. Made cover of 5/31/58 Drag News, caption claiming car/driver held gas record (set earlier) of 157.61. Brown died sorting out the Scrima-Adams-Smith dragster at Lions in September 1959. - RT; The car debuted at San Fernando on Feb. 16, setting a track record 147.54 mph. The next week at Lions, it turned 149.75 mph. Lions and San Fernando were offering substantial prize money for the first gas dragster to go over 150. Brown, only 19 years old, was the first to do it, hitting 152.28 mph at San Fernando on Mar. 2. Brown was on a roll as he then broke that mark by going 157.61 mph at San Fernando two weeks later.

Notes: Ron Scrima owned the Chassis Research TE-440 chassis, Gene Adams provided the motor and Mort Smith normally piloted. This is the car Mickey Brown died in on a spur-of-the-moment invitation to test a new engine installation. The car has been restored and is nostalgia-raced with a 296" Flathead. - RT
