My old '56 210 2dr sedan ran N/S, set the record three times, ran some 12.90s in killer air, ran 13.0s about all the time. Side stepping the clutch @6000, picked the tires up about 4", thought I was doing wheelies. LOL Held the record @ 13.10 when NHRA did away with Stock, forcing us to go to Super Stock. No more 7" tire rule. Bigger tires, bigger cams, broke more three speeds. My best 3 speed trans had a cut & welded cluster gear for the gear ratios I needed. Not as much fun breaking like that.
