Did it In a 32 Roadster on 90% nitro and also in my 40 Ford coupe with a big Olds with 4 97s and a mag.

actually I did have the tires since I ran Indy tires that Lou Grant, Grant Piston Rings, brought back and gave them to us.

Also in the 57 Corvette tuning it up for the SCCA races, It was clocked at 154 in the back straight at Riverside.

For tune up I used to use San Fernando rd between Fletcher abd Brand in Los angeles and Foothill in Arcadia to race the 32 roadster on fuel, and a few dozen other places that weren’t quite as safe.

5 years of street racing 7 nites a week and never got caught but back then the cops couldn't go over 100 and they didn't have helicopters!
