Chuck Jones was the owner of this transverse engined drag machine called the “Sidewinder”. Originally built in ’58 by Paul Nicolini and Hary Duncan, it ran a Wayne Reed owned, Joe Maillard built 456” Chrysler that was huffed by a GMC 6-71. Driver Jack Chrisman managed a lap of 162.67 mph in 9.03 seconds before it appeared in the October ’59 issue of HRM. It’s seen at Santa Ana with track owner C.J.Hart.
