This is the Heth & Thompson car from Colorado. It was the
first car to break 160 mph (June 5, 1960) and 170 mph (178.57 on
August 14, 1960). The Heth & Thompson team was nearly unbeatable
for three years. They eventually bought Tommy Ivo's first Buick
dragster (less engine) from Don Prudhomme, put their Chrysler in it,
and continued to dominate.
