Notes: Paul Nicolini and Harry Duncan sold their temperamental Sidewinder in 1958 to Chuck Jones from Orange, and Joe Mailliard, from Long Beach. They divided the labor, Jones handling the chassis, and Mailliard was the tuner. They got Jack Chrisman to be the driver. One of the first outings was at Santa Ana on Aug 17, where Chrisman turned 9.89 at 147.55 mph. On Sep 20 at Lions, he won Top Eliminator with 9.96 at 149.25 mph. The next day at Santa Ana, he took Top Eliminator with 10.11 at 151,57 mph. On Oct 11 at Lions, he won Top Eliminator with best times of 9.67 at 152.02 mph. A week later, at Lions, he ran 9.59 at 154.37 mph. They were periodically plagued with flinging chains, a common occurrence with sidewinder dragsters. On Nov 1 at Lions, they broke in a new engine, clocking 9.96 and 155.44 mph before the end of the meet. On Nov 23 at Lions, they closed out the year with 9.86 at 151.00 mph.

Notes: Chrisman was at Lions on Jun 20 when he made a pretty amazing run. As he was nearing the lights, the pressure plate blew, which threw off both chains. The car still ran 9.04/154.63.; At the start of the year, Wayne Reed, from Long Beach, joined the others, bringing with him a new motor. On Jan 18 at Lions, they were breaking Reed's new engine, only recording best times of 10.27 and 148.27 mph, but still managed to win Top Eliminator. On Jan 25 at Lions, the engine was doing better, and they clocked 9.63. Photo: George Klass Collection - MB

Notes: After early trials of Thompson's Pontiac gas dragster showed promise, it was entered in the Winternationals. In the trials, it had run 8.35 at 183.28 mph. In a tune-up before the Winternationals, he lost to John Peters in the gas eliminator competition at Lions on Jan. 20. Peters and Chrisman tied for a new strip gas dragster record with a 8.37 second clocking. Newspapers reported that Chrisman and Thompson's dragster was the No. 1 ranked gas dragster in the nation. John Peters edged out Chrisman during the top gas eliminations at the Winternationals. Peters ended up winning top gas eliminator in the twin-engined Peters-Frank "Freight Train" gas dragster. On Feb. 23 at Lions, Chrisman took top gas eliminator honors on the first day of the 2-day Western Drag Championships. He won over a field that included six of the country's top gas dragsters. He was beaten on the second day of the meet by eventual winner Tom McCoury. At Lions on Mar. 9, Chrisman lost his No. 1 national ranking in a match with John Peters in a hard-fought 2-out-of-3 race. Chrisman then went out on a national tour. When he returned to California, he was in a terrible crash at Pomona after returning from his tour. He was seriously injured when the drive shaft of his dragster came loose and caused him to crash. His injuries were very serious, almost near-fatal, but in July it was reported that he was making an "almost miraculous recovery." Initially it was suspected that he would need a full year to heal. Research was unable to pinpoint when he crashed at Pomona, but it was likely either in April or May. Chrisman recovered enough to resume driving by August. He then was at the wheel of Mickey Thompson's new Ford-engined gas dragster. Photo: Drag Strip List, Memories (California), Pomona Drag Strip entry -- MB

Notes: Blown direct-drive 427 Ford on fuel. AKA Super Cyclone. Ran 'low nines.' (We need exact ET). Though generally run as an exhibition car, closest class would've been S/FX (Supercharged Factory experimental). Considered by most to be the first true fuel funny car, this car began with an FE wedge motor on nitro, and was created as the huge publicity roll-out on the gas-burning Dodge Chargers team started. Former dragster standout Jack Chrisman agreed to drive, with the car built by Mercury subcontractor Bill Stroppe. Once complete, Jack would show up unannounced at the DC's publicized race demo dates, reportedly bankrolled directly by Mercury through Helen Sachs dealership in Downey, Ca. (and, no, Dodge was not happy about these appearances). The direct drive meant it smoked the tires most of its run just like a fuel dragster of this era did. Chrisman ran the car for two seasons, converting to red paint with fresh 1965 body panels, and replacing the wedge with SOHC power on fuel soon after the 1965 Winternationals. The motor was also set back at this time. In this format, the car was in the first-ever NHRA side-by-side blown nitro 'doorslammer' race when Jack raced Don Gay for B/Fuel Dragster honors at the 1965 Nationals. Sold to Dee Keaton, Jack 'the Bear' would bring the car back out briefly after the August 1966 fire in his Logghe roadster at New York National Speedway. Former Ford racer and collector Jim Barillaro found the remains of this car in the early 1980s and restored it. Therefore this, the first fuel funny car, is also indirectly responsible for inaugurating the restored funny car era, which in turn has birthed the modern nostalgia Funny Car movement. And Jim Barillaro will still occasionally cackle this car on nitro. | Jack showed up at Fremont on July 12/1964, and made a series of exhibition passes. He ran times of 10.70/144.69, 10.63/145.16, 10.44/147.54, and a final 10.38/148.27 to steal the show. Fans were amazed at this full size car running these times and speeds.

Notes: Blown fuel. This was the car Jack ran for Sachs & Sons in 1964 with all updated sheet metal. (Started 1964 with Sachs & Sons on side). Roof was about the only thing that didn't change. July 1966 Car Craft says this car ran 'around 9.20's' in 1965. Confirmed 9.79. We need confirmation of best ET. Run by Dee Keaton in 1966, then bought back from him by Chrisman when Chrisman's 1966 Comet roadster burned to the ground. - DD, BP

Notes: Comet roadster with Cammer, C-6 combo. Jack Chrisman got one of four original Logghe-built Comets in 1966. Jack took his proven blown 427 SOHC out of the Chrisman's Comet to run in the new flip-top car, unlike Nicholson and Schartman, who ran injected Cammers. In 1966, it seemed that the four lightweight Comets dominated the funny car competition like no other cars. Car burned to the ground at New York National mid-1966. Repurchased the old Comet from Dee Keaton to finish the season. Chrisman ran a quickest-ever 8.71 and 184 mph at Riverside during the year. We need to confirm which combo ran that number. | This car would have been just at home at a car show as on a race track. The Shedlik built fiberglass body weighed 200 lbs., and the whole car was just 1,870 lbs. Chrisman was experimenting with running direct-drive and C-6 automatic transmission. Jack was at Pomona on April 24 in his Comet roadster, making exhibition passes with a best of 9.06 at 171. At the end of May, he beat Emery Cook, driving Don Garlits' Dart two straight at Cecil County. He ran times of 9.35/163.04 and 9.36/168 to win the match. He was still using his old '65 engine from the previous year's car, but he installed a new engine with aluminum heads shortly after. Chrisman won Funny Car at Riverside for the HRM Championships. He beat a fouling Al Vanderwoude in the first round, with an 8.72/184.42 (Top Speed). His 8.74/182.18 beat Bob Davis in the semifinals, while a final round 8.71/179.28 got the victory over Jim Liberman driving the "Brutus" car. On July 2, Jack was in Detroit in his Comet roadster to face Gary Dyer in the "Mr. Norm" car in a best two out of three match race. Jack attempted to warm up before the match but had some problems with his supercharger. He got it straightened out in time for the first race as his 8.59/177.51 beat Dyer, who blew his transmission. Dyer could not repair his car, so Chrisman soloed to win the match, but what a solo it was. He set a new track record, 8.50/178.57, for the win. On July 9, he was at Capitol for a best of three match against Dick Landy. Dick was late arriving as his truck had blown a rear end on the way to the match. So, in the first race, Hubert Platt subbed for him in his Mustang. Platt's words were, "Maybe he'll foul." Chrisman didn't foul in their race, and he ran an 8.82/181.44 to beat Platt's wheelstanding 9.86/136. Landy arrived with some help in the form of Malcolm Durham's transporter. So, the two lined up for round two of the match. They were having a good race until half-track when Chrisman exploded a supercharger. Landy won with a 9.33/137. Jack was done for the day, and once again, Platt was called in to race Landy in the final race. Platt lost, so Dick was declared the winner of the match. Jack was at York, PA, on July 17 for the NHRA Division 1 race. He set the S/XS speed record to 175.43. He was supposed to run off against Ed Schartman in the S/XS final, but Chrisman had bearing problems, and Schartman soloed for the win. ET 1966 (July 1966 Car Craft) mph Crofton, MD 1966 (8/12/66 Drag News). Car Craft's "Top Ten Rods of 1966" feature credited 8.71 at 184.00 times during the year. - RT

Notes: Blown fuel. Chrisman ran this car in 1964, upgraded it in 1965, ran it early in 1966, then sold it to Dee Keaton when Chrisman got his new factory flip-top Comet. Comet burned at New York National mid-late 1966, he bought this back from Keaton to finish season. Car was still around in 1969, being sold by an Inglewood Service Center. Chrisman ran a quickest-ever 8.72 at Riverside 1966. Ran 8.96 at Connecticut per 10/21/66 Drag News. Ran 9.930/155.97 at Lions using a Wedge 427 per 2/16/66 Drag News. Ingleside Service Center owned this car after Chrisman and had it for sale in 1969.

Jack took his proven blown 427 Cammer out of the 1965 Comet to run in the new flip-top car, unlike Nicholson and Schartman, who ran injected motors. In 1966, it seemed that the four lightweight Comets dominated the funny car competition like no other cars. Chrisman's high point in his funny car career was his 7.60/190.27 run at Indy in 1967. No other car ran in the sevens during qualifying. That run was light years ahead of the competition. Chrisman's career cooled by the end of the decade. | Won the "light" (2000 lbs.) funny car category at the 4th Hot Rod Magazine Championships at Riverside, Cal., in April 1967. | For almost two years, everyone wondered what this car was capable of doing. The injected Comets dominated the competition, and everyone knew that when Jack finally got this thing to "stick," it was quick. That happened at Indy. This car was one week old when Jack showed up at Pomona for the NHRA Winternationals. He ran in the S/XS class and, in the first round, met the eventual winner Don Nicholson. Chrisman ran a strong 8.40/177.51 but lost to "Dyno's" slight holeshot and 8.42/170 run. A week later (February 12), he was making some test runs at Irwindale. He ran a best of 8.60/162.74 before breaking a blower manifold. He was at Bakersfield on Feb.19, where he ran in the 2,400lb Funny Car class. In the opening round of eliminations, his 8.76/167.28 beat Jim Liberman's 9.53/156. But in the semifinals, he fouled against Al Vanderwoulde. Jack was at Lions on March 18, where he made an exhibition run at 8.75/172.04. As mentioned above, he won the 2,000 lb. Funny Car class at the HRM Championships on April 8. He qualified #1 with an 8.71/177.77 and beat Ronnie Runyan's Corvette in the first round, with an 8.50/174.75. Another 8.50 at 178.57 took the victory over the broken 'Cuda of Butch Leal in the final. On May 10, he was at Cecil County for the Factory Showdown. His 8.47/174.75 (Top Speed) advanced when Liberman crossed the center line in the first round. He was late off the line in round two, and his 8.32 lost to Roger Lindamood's 8.41. At Aquasco on May 21, a first-round 8.72/155.70 won when Lindamood fouled away an 8.78/167. He got a solo in the second round and set Low ET and Top Speed of the meet with an 8.38/175.78, but his kill switch failed at the end of the run, and then his parachute failed to deploy. He ran off the end of the track and got airborne for 100 feet before crashing down. Jack was OK, not so much for the Comet. In June, he qualified at Bristol for the NHRA Springnationals with an 8.30. He broke in the first round, but his coasting Comet still advanced due to Leal's red light. Chrisman could not repair in time for round two, giving Ed Schartman a solo into the semifinals. Shortly after that, he went to Cecil County for the three-day Super Stock Magazine Nationals. Chrisman raced in the "unlimited class" for supercharged cars only. On Friday, he beat Arnie Beswick in the first round when the steering failed on the GTO, and he crossed into Jack's lane right in front of the Comet. Only seven cars were running in this class Friday, so Chrisman got to solo in the semifinal. He faced Steve Bovan's Camaro in the final, and Steve won easily with an 8.34/169 over the ailing Comet. He did not race on Saturday, but he was back in competition Sunday. While he didn't win, he did run 8.07/184.44 to defeat Larry Reyes' 8.19/179 in the "Kingfish" in the first round.

Notes: Chrisman started the year at Lions for the AHRA Funny Car meet on January 28. It didn't go too well. He qualified 31 with a 9.90/154.90 and lost a motor on the line in round one. He ran 8.40 to qualify 13th on February 24, again at Lions, and ran 8.09/180.00 to win his first-round race. An 8.11/176 failed to beat Fred Goeske in the second round. The following day at Carlsbad, he had injection problems and couldn't run, giving Dick Loehr a single. Chrisman was at Lions on March 30, where all fourteen cars made three runs. His 9.14/145.11 lost to Bob Pickett's 9.10/109 when both cars got out of shape in his first race. Motor trouble kept him from making a second run, and on the third, his ailing Comet lost to Johnny Wright's 8.41/160. After doing a stint with Hayden Proffitt's Rebel, Amos Satterlee came back as the chief mechanic. On April 7, Jack ran a best of 8.06/182.18 and finished runner-up to Fred Goeske at the Carlsbad Funny Car Championships. A first-round loss to Dick Harrell's 8.17 to Chrisman's 8.32 followed on May 4 at OCIR. An 8.02/151.50 qualified him second at Lions on May 18, but the pass cost him as a timing chain broke, and he bent some valves. As a result, he was unable to race. He was at Tulsa on June 9 for a best-of-three-match race against Don Gay. Jack lost the first race to the Pontiac, but he ran a strong 7.64 to win over Gay, who lost a motor in the second race. Gay could not return for the third race, so Jack soloed for the match race victory. At Irwindale on June 22, Jack lost to Dee Keaton in the second round. Jack was at Irwindale on August 17 for a Funny Car vs. Fuel Altered race. There were four of each that were to race round-robin. In his first race, he ran 8.13/179.28, but it wasn't strong enough to beat Gary Reed's 7.69/204 in the "Groundshaker."In the second race against Sush Matsubara, the Comet broke at 1/8 track and lost to Sush's 9.47/163. The car could not run the last race, and Willie Borsch filled in for him. A big win at Lions on October 12 followed with his 7.98/177.86 dropping Dale Pulde in the final. He almost pulled it off again on November 16 at Lions, where he qualified #4 in the eight-car field with a 7.97/185.44. He then ran two 7.88's at 185.56 and 181.08 to beat Ronnie Runyon twice(Ronnie had gotten back into the show on the "break rule"). That got him into the final against Jim Liberman. Jack had to shut off on the line with a leaking transmission. He also raced at the OCIR Mfg. Championships 1968. It was his last season running a Comet.

Notes: Coca-Cola Cavalcade of Stars racer. Jack Chrisman's new 118" Fletcher-built Mustang was a thing of beauty. The Shedlik built body was painted a light metallic red. The stock bore and stroke 427 SOHC used M/T rods supporting Ansen 6:1 pistons. Crane cams were used. A four-port Hilborn Injector sat on the Don Hampton-built blower. It sat on a stock Ford intake manifold for blower applications. The blower drive came from Delta. Doug's Headers were also used. The transmission was a B&M reworked C-6. A Detroit Locker rear with 3.50 gears put the power to the ground. | The car could win at car shows, but Jack had a rough year at the track. He failed to qualify at the NHRA Winternationals. On March 22, he again failed to make the field at Lions for an eight-car show. Twenty-two cars attempted to make the show. On April 20, Chrisman faced Fred Goeske at Gary, Indiana, for a best of three match. He had a bad day as he lost three straight. In their first race, Fred's 7.70/173 beat his 8.14/160. Both got quicker in the second race, where Fred's 7.63/193 got the better of Jack's 7.94/181. Both ran their best times in the last race, with Fred's 7.60/197 leading Chrisman's 7.87/188 through the traps. Amarillo, Texas, held a Coca-Cola Cavalcade race on April 27, but Jack failed to make the final round. Another Cavalcade race was held at Epping on June 15, and he lost all three of his races, running a best of only 8.96/139.50. In June, he was at Maple Grove for another Cavalcade race but again failed to make the final. On August 17, for National Trail's Cavalcade event, Jack won his first race with an 8.20 over Marv Eldridge's 8.26. He broke at half-track in the second race but won when Goeske fouled away a 7.97. He lost his third-round race to Kelly Chadwick's 8.78 with an ailing 9.40. On September 7 at Shelby International Raceway for the Memphis Funny Car 500, Chrisman won his first-round race when Roger Lindamood broke. But Lindamood got in with the break rule in effect and was matched against Chrisman again in the second round. This time Roger set a 7.44 track record in beating Jack. The highlight of his season had to be at Indy, where Jack qualified #13 for the US Nationals with a 7.520 and had a Top Speed at 206.42. A first-round 7.663/200 beat Dick Loehr's quicker 7.56/193, but in the second round, his 7.72/196 wasn't enough to beat Leonard Hughes's 7.25/201. On October 18, a Cavalcade race was held at Lions, but in the first round, he ran a blower-popping 8.13/177.51 that lost to Marv Eldridge's 7.84/180. | The Coke circuit ad from 1969 listed Jack's best times at 7.57/193.91.
