Hey Tom, I've got the Feb '64 Hot Rod Magazine in my hand.......Ray Brock did a test on Butch Leal's fresh delivered Thunderbolt. 11.61 @ 124.88 at Lion's Drag Strip in Long Beach, Ca. It must have been done in December 1963 or January 1964 at the latest to make print for February. This mag was in a box in my dad's closet when I was a kid. I would sneak it out and read it when he wasn't looking! LOL.
