I forgot to mention the name of the magazine Bob's car, The Strip Teaser II was featured in, it was American Rodding.

I recall going to the Double H Dragstrip in the early to mid 60s. There were some pretty big names that came there to race. I went with my cousin and he raced his "55 Ford", and Bob Thomas had a series of Mercury Comets call The Strip Teaser that was very fast, and was featured on the cover and had about a 3 or 4 page spread. The pictures of it were taken at Double H, and included Bob, Howard Neil, who drove it, and maybe Larry davis, I'm not sure. As well as others.
