Notes: Recorded on a desert strip, not at actual drag strip. Went 450 on the 3.22, but was too fast for the timers to pick it up. Went 412 over 500 meters (1500 feet). Officially went 392.54 to set the quarter mile acceleration record (took it from Dave Anderson, who had gone 368). Info from Ky Michaelson and newspaper report. |

Notes: Santa Pod 7/08/84. The 3.58/386 was the all time quickest run ever recorded on a drag strip. Photo taken at Santa Pod on 7th August 1984, from the grandstand, looking down on to the ‘Fire-up’ road. I took the shot – I think – just before Sammy's record-breaking run. - Benito |

Notes: 2nd World Record set at Bristol, Tennessee, Oct 11, 1981, 344 MPH, 4.22 ET. Larry says that the car's rear tire came off the track midway; chutes deployed at half track. Had this incident not occurred, this run could have been under 3 seconds at over 500 MPH. Ran Vega for first part of 1981, but started running EXP at Bristol. |

Notes: In August, 1967 at U.S.30 dragstrip in Crown Point, Illinois, Chuck Suba drove the X-1 to a 5.41 second elapsed time (although Pete Farnsworth felt the best elapsed time record on reliable clocks was 5.9 seconds at Oklahoma City). The 5.41 second elapsed time remained drag racing's all-time low e. t. until November 11, 1971, when the second hydrogen peroxide rocket dragster, Bill Frederick's Courage of Australia driven by Vic Wilson, recorded a 5.107 second 311 mph pass during private testing at Orange County International Raceway, California. In doing so, it became the first car of any kind to run 300 mph in a quarter mile. The Courage of Australia was essentially a scaled-down Blue Flame clone. Nitrogen was contained in a spherical bottle mounted in the nose forward of the single front wheel with the hydrogen peroxide in a horizontal tank forward of the cockpit. |
