While Jim McMillan knew how his 1957 Chevy handled on the street, he wanted to know how it would handle on the strip, so in 1968, he took the car with a 283 cubic-inch engine and three-speed transmission to a dragstrip near his home in Minnesota.

Of all the places they could gather years ago, Randy Adler, his brother, Rob and their father, Richard, chose the parking lot at White Castle and Duke's Drive-In near their homes in Tinley Park, Illinois, but rather than drinking milkshakes and devouring fries, they were lining up street races.

While Al Corda can remember every line and every contour of his first car, a 66 Dodge, it was the 64 Plymouth station wagon he had that added fuel to his go-fast fire, and it wheeled him to a win and a Wally at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in 1971. He continued cruising in A, B and C Stock Eliminator categories in various muscular Mopars and earned a second NHRA Wally in 1993, as well as NHRA cham...
