Long Beach, CA based Bones Balogh, Gary Dubach and Joe Pisano teamed up back in 1966 to run this cool looking 1933 Willys Gasser. It was powered by a gas burning supercharged Chrysler Hemi displacing 392”. Driver Bones had a quick time that year of 9.335 seconds and a top speed of 155.44 mph. At the March Meet in ’66, Bones took on Doug Cook in the second round and put him on the trailer with a run of 9.67 at 149 mph to Doug’s 9.74 at 146 mph.
