Notes: Debuted in 1958, this dragster was powered by a '49 Jeep engine. Its best time in the early part of the 1959 season was 13.96 at 99 mph. Driving duties were shared by the two owners. On June 28 at the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds, Lehew won the X dragster class with a new strip record of 13.74 seconds. They lost by just a few feet in the Little Eliminator finals.
