    This is Oklahoma City 1958 at the NHRA Nationals The twin engine car is Jack Moss Not sure on the Allison , besides Art Arfons at this meet there was another Allison with twin slicks by the name of Snyder and Pendleton. Looking at the picture I have of Snyder I can’t tell for sure that this car is him.
