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: In its first appearance at Morrow Drag Strip, Colton, CA, it narrowly lost to a fuel bike that clocked 121 mph in the Top Eliminator finals on July 30, 1955.

Notes: Herbert was in the process of building another dragster, his sixth in the Beast-named drag race vehicles. He hoped to have it ready in time to go to the U.S. Nationals in Kansas City. He knew he wouldn't have the blown '57 Chrysler engine ready in time, but he had plans to drop in an injected 331-inch engine. He intended to have someone else do the driving as his bout with polio nine years earlier deprived him from competitive driving. His wife, Peggy, was hoping Chet would permit her to drive the new dragster. Chet's intent to take the new dragster back to run at Kansas City apparently didn't happen. He said, "If we can't show what we can do back there, we'll have to do it at the Santa Ana drags." A search of Drag News after the U.S. Nationals showed no results at Santa Ana for Herbert's dragster. In fact, the only racing action for Chet in 1957 was with an 80-cubic-inch fuel Harley that Bud Morehouse drove for him. It appears that this dragster may have never been finished.

Notes: They were the only 4-barrel entry at Lions' first anniversary meet on Oct. 27-28. They took their class win with 91.74 mph. Given that they were the only four-barrel entry, they were put into the dragster class for top eliminator competition. They drew Art Chrisman in the first round and were soundly defeated.

Notes: They took back-to-back wins in D/G at Pomona on Jan. 8 and Jan. 15 with 87.29 mph and 87.20 mph, respectively. The engine used then and in August racing was a 225 cubic inch Chevy 6. On Feb. 12 at Pomona, they won with their Chevy 6 in D/G with a new strip record of 93.65 mph. On Apr. 15 at the Drag News Invitational, Sedar and McCormack in the De-Win Chevy 6 set a strip record and class win in D/G with 92.59 mph. They took a D/G class win on Aug. 19 at San Gabriel with 91.78 mph. At Lions on Sep. 8, they won D/G with 89.37 mph. The D/G class was a tough class to win because of the presence of Jr. Thompson. There may have been an ownership and engine change at that point, as the Spaulding Cam Special was thereafter called the DeSalliers and Bishop Spaulding Cam Special. Jim Bishop was the driver. Bishop had previously won D/G at Pomona on Apr. 8 with 89.55 mph. Bishop took a win in D/G at San Gabriel on Sep. 23 with 90.00 mph. When the Spaulding Cam Special won at San Gabriel Valley Drag Strip on Oct. 21, DeSalliers and Bishop were listed as owners, and the engine was a '55 Chevy V8. They clocked 91.84 mph to win D/G class. They took another win at San Gabriel on Nov. 25 with 89.00 mph. On Dec. 9 at San Gabriel, they won again with 92.87 mph.

Notes: With Santa Ana, Lions, San Gabriel, and San Fernando jumping on the fuel-ban bandwagon, it left precious little places for a fuel car like the Walker Brothers ran to find a place to race. Pomona lagged behind the other strips in banning fuel cars, so that's where they raced before giving in to the no-fuel trend and switching to the gas-only ranks. On Feb. 3 at Pomona, they turned 104.57 mph to take a trophy in A Fuel Coupe-Sedan class. They ran on gas at San Fernando on Apr. 28, taking a trophy in the E.F.H. fendered class with 99.77 mph. They really had no other option if they wanted to race. They adapted. They won the gas B/Altered Coupe-Sedan class trophy at Lions on May 26 with 100.55 mph. They won the E Fendered Coupe-Sedan class at San Fernando on June 16 with 97.60 mph. With the lack of event showings for the Walker Brothers in 1957, it's apparent that the fuel ban took the wind out of their sails.
