Hello,

The Destroyer, as it was called, would do its name a lot of justice over the five years it terrorized drag strips up and down the West Coast. In a sport that was dominated at the time by the traditional dragster, the short-wheel based racecar, might just have been the predecessor of the modern funny car.

“We ran primarily in the Northwest, but we ran at Pomona and Long Beach (Lions Dragstrip),” Wilbur said. One such match-up at Lions, which Wilbur said was the No. 1 track in the country, was running the “Stone-Woods and Cook” team. That “was the highlight of that car,” Wilbur said.

The SWC camp just came off of a match race against the Northwest’s fabled, Wilbur-Massey Ford modified sedan, in the event the day before, on Saturday night. Then on Sunday, they competed in the All Gas Coupe and Sedan drag meet.

“Coming down from Davenport, Washington to race Stone-Woods-Cook tonight was Wilbur-Massey’s little DFMC. It’s a sanitary early Ford sedan with a 267 inch Chevy on fuel. The block is of the 1958 vintage. Home strip is Deer Park, Washington. The best time for the car is 9.80-150.00. The driver is Vern Masse, 28 and single."

"He makes his home in Spokane, Washington and has been around the sport some 10 years. The mechanic is Don Wilbur, 24 and single who makes his home in Davenport, Washington. The best the boys could get out of the car this evening was a 10.60-144.00. They had mixed feelings about Southern California. But both said the racing plants out here are boss.”

Then on the next day, the SWC Black Widow won the A/GS class in the all Gas Coupe/Sedan meet on the same Lion’s Dragstrip weekend.
