When the engine in my ’36 coupe gave out, Chet Herbert put his Jimmy in my coupe and I ran it on nitro. I think the first guy to run nitro was Vic Edelbrock Sr. He ran it in his Midget with the V8-60 and beat all the Offys that were running straight alcohol.” (Ed ran El Mirage in 1951 with the nitro/GMC combination in his ’36, setting a record in the B Coupe Class he recalled approximately 137 mph.)
