Jack Bayer used to tune my 61 Monza at Bill Bader Chevrolet in Fontana. About that time he was piloting the Bayer & Freitas (sp?) dual-engined Chevy dragster that I was told was made out of the Money Olds that Lefty Mudersbach (my hero!) had chassied.

That thing was so squirrely it was impossible to make a full pass so one night at Fontana they were put back down into Middle Eliminator. I don't remember if they won the category or not, but the rule was changed to not allow dual-engined dragsters in Middle.

Anyway, that's what I remember, and that's suspect any more.

Big wheels go in the back, they eventually got it right!

 

Maybe they were going for the gasser stance....

 

I didn't know Jack was a driver, he made some serious horsepower in some stock class Chevys, with FI 283's and 409's !

 

I may have been mistaken. It may have been from the "Rod and Custom" article.
