Maybe this has been mentioned before; I may have missed it.

At the 1967 NHRA World Finals at Tulsa, there was a 1957, 312cid Thunderbird with a belt-driven, Paxton (or, was it McCulloch?) centrifugal blower and an automatic transmission that I witnessed running a 13.00 in C/SA withoiut even stall-starting it... left from an idle.

That was pretty fast, forty-three years ago...
