Tom, I am old enough. However, I wasn't into drag racing then. I just wanted a 'fancy' sports car that would go fast. Hence my Firebird. A couple of years after I bought it new I went to a drag strip a couple of times 'to see what it could do'. At that time I did what the standard hot rodders did. Performance carb, intake, headers.
As a side note, during one of those trips I saw a dragster there. I don't know what fuel was involved, but the driveshaft broke half way down the track. Still crossed the finish with a 9 sec et.
