Not a drag race but a funny story. Back in about 1960 I took a nice Model A Town Sedan in trade on a 49 Meteor (Canadian Ford), replaced a broken piston with a used one, and sold it to a friend for $100. He came back in a few weeks and said, Did you knw that Model A will do 60 mph. I said "I don't believe that, where did you discover that it would do that?".
He said I threw it in neutral at the top of "Devil's Back Hill" and let her go. At the bottom of the hill the speedometer was bouncing on 60. Pretty brave/foolish but it was something for a teenager to brag about.
