Notes: Streamliner, possibly body mounted on "Jungle 4"? | Here’s yet another short-lived streamlined attempt, the Mooneyham-Ferguson-Jackson-Faust machine, whose Jocko-designed metalflake-blue bodywork enclosed not only the cockpit but also the front tires. The sleek-looking piece spent just two days on the track, at Lions Drag Strip and San Fernando Raceway, May 8-9, 1965, and the popular “Jungle Four” SoCal team never ran better than 8.20 at 197.80. Just prior to building this car, the team -- Gene Mooneyham, driver “Jungle Larry" Faust, Wayne Ferguson, and Jerry Jackson -- had set a new Standard 1320 A/FD record of 7.53 at Lions, so the 8.20 was quite a disappointment, but was the body too good? According to Mooneyham’s wife, Dorothy, “The front grabbed the ground like a vacuum cleaner,” perhaps creating too much power-sapping downforce. The car is now in the Garlits museum. - NHRA.com, Phil Burgess info. | Previous entry for this car had a best of 8.25/197.80 at San Bernardino, CA. After running this car for two days in 1965, the team went back to their conventional AAFD, information for which is no contained in the other entry. | This short-lived streamlined dragster experiment only lasted for two races on the May 8/9 weekend at Lions and San Fernando. The times were a disappointment, so they took off the beautiful Jocko body and returned to the basic no-frills dragster look that had given them the most success. So much for streamlining. - MB |
