Notes: The car was named after his son. 8.21 for this year, but that seemed way too quick. We need to confirm if Setto even ran that time in 1960, his last year of competition.; Drag News (9/5/59) reported that Postoian ran 182.92 mph, backed up with 179.83 mph to set a new Drag News 1320 world record, but Garlits broke that at the same event with 183.66 mph. The 182.92 mph speed was also reported in the Portland Maine Evening Express on 8/24/59. Photo: Moline Dispatch, Aug. 26, 1959 - MB
