Cal was faster than any of 'em. Interestingly, the team that owned this bike struggled during Speed Week and never did even get it qualified for a speed run. H-D took an interest, had their own Dick O'Brien take charge, and they went back to the flats one week later, along with Gary Gabelich in The Blue Flame. Both set world records that next week. Also interestingly, they were running Warner Riley's motor in it by then, but on only about 60% nitro. 266 mph from a stroker Ironhead Sportster motor.
