Since you asked : At the old Pampa strip, circa 1953-54. As I said in earlier clip, "Tech Inspection" was a bit loose, meaning ZIP. Car had been a circle track Sportsman class, built by Moss , originally had a cut Model A coupe body. (you can see where he cut of the "nerf bars " from frame rail.) He took off the body, changed axle ratio. And SHAZAM! an instant dragster. A bit scary by today's standards, but pretty quick for its day. His main competition for top eliminator was a modified motorcycle, which he shut down pretty easily. I bought a Moss built, mean flathead from Joe in early '57, which he had bought from Jack in maybe '56. It may have been that engine.
