Notes: Markert established the NHRA record for C/D (138.24 mph) at Atco, NJ, in July '60, a record that would stand for years. | Photo at Sanford, Maine.; Markert wouldn't install injectors until 1961, so he ran carburetors in 1959/60. And his Berkshire Beetle II dragster dates to 1962/63, not 1961. His engine was a '53 DeSoto. He won the C/D class at the Nationals at Detroit Dragway with 11.16 at 131.94 mph.
