IIRC the Golden Greek's "Chizler" made the first 200 mph pass in 1960 using hydrazine.

I see nobody bothered to hit GREEK spell check when they typed Karamesines name!

He admitted to over 80 in an interview.

A kid compared to red hat holder Joe Fontana!

I bet he didn't try to qualify the rail pictured -- too pretty -- not a spec car.
