Notes: Poole ran in the A Open class at Cordova in 1956, but research was unable to find what kind of vehicle he was using. But he brought out a blown Chrysler-powered dragster using five carburetors in 1957. At Cordova on Mar. 31, he set a track record 145.631 mph on alcohol. He thought if he used nitro, he might be able to break the world mark of 166 mph. He tried to break the world record on Apr. 7 but came up short. That was his last try before entering the army. He came home on furlough for another try at the world record on June 30, again breaking the track record but short of the world record. After getting out of the army in 1959, he tried racing again at Cordova but kept breaking parts. Photo: Quad-City Times, July 7, 1957 - MB | Listing on gas for now.

Notes: Harlan was a founding member and officer of the Manhattan Timing Association. He began the '57 season running a Plymouth engine in his gasser but dropped Bill Watson's '54 Olds engine in the car in the fall. That upped him from the D/G class to the B/G class. He was runner-up in B/G class at the AHRA Nationals at Great Bend. On Oct. 27, he took a B/G class win at Forbes Air Force Base. Photo: Manhattan Mercury, Aug. 30, 1957 - MB
