[Neil Smedley]

I would say that the Olds and Studebaker were equally competitive.....The last record holder standing when NHRA sent us to the scrapyard was Dempsey Hardy`s 54 Studebaker.......The team of Weeks, Hardy and Dinsmore from Florida and their famed Crockagator had the record at 15.50 or so.....The quickest my 50 olds could go was 15.65....Keith Berg`s 50 Olds was about a tenth faster than mine........Those were the days..............
