Nitro doesn't add power, it multiplies it! Bob Loux, running 10.07 secs @138mph on a 650 normally aspirated Triumph drag bike in 1965!

The Luther Plymouth was built for a land speed attempt at Bonneville in 1935. It had a 1934 Chrysler (Plymouth) PF flathead straight six. Did two runs before breaking a con rod and never ran again until it was recently restored. If the frame looks sort of familiar, that's because it's a stretched Henderson X.
