And they were made obsolete overnight by 1966 when Dyno Don and Fast Eddie appeared on the scene with their Logghe-built Mercury Comet fliptop funnycars.

Generally speaking, yes, nobody had ANY idea--they were just race cars. Still, those cars weren't cheap. If I bought one with my hard earned dollars, I most certainly wouldn't have modified mine into an altered wheelbase match racer. No way. And that's not 20/20 hindsight talking either.
