Notes: Recorded on a desert strip, not at an actual drag strip. Went 350 on the 3.22, but was "too fast for the timers to pick it up." Went 312 over 500 meters (1500 feet). (Dave Anderson went faster at 368). Info from newspaper reports. 29-year-old O'Neil was deaf since birth and one of the top stunt persons in the world. A month after this run, she set the all-time record for falling from a height at 112 feet. Kitty also ran 618 in Bill Frederick's Land Speed Record car (on an existing world record of 622) in preparation for setting the LSR. Two major Chicago sponsors did not want a 'lady' doing that and pulled support in lieu of a male driver. Legal action was said to ensue, but we have no details. | Ran 307.04 on a drag strip at Bonneville in September 1977.

Notes: Times as quoted by Ky Michaelson in his book "Rocketman." Allen ran this car through 1979, then sold it to Fred Goeske, who in turn sold it to Rod Phelps. It has spent time in Don Garlits museum as well. - RT | A few more pictures of my dragster, the Texas Starship. The first picture is at Irwindale, CA, on 30 July 1977. The first runs ever on my car. Note it did not have canards and moved around past 260 MPH, so we stopped the runs after three, and I had canards built by Doug Kruse, and Frank Hussar installed them. I then got my ticket the next weekend, as did Jim Hodges and Kitty O'Neil. The next picture is the Union Grove Labor Day show 1977. Ted Trowbridge, my crew chief, is pumping in the fuel, and Sammy Miller is standing next to me, inviting us over to his pit for lunch. The final shot is of the car in Garlit's museum next to Mongoose's funny car. This was about 20 years ago, and now it's by some dragsters. - John Alan Hudson
