Paula Murphy?s FIA-sanctioned runs in the rocket Pollution Packer dragster, October 1, 1972, were:
quarter mile standing start, elapsed times only recorded.
1st run: 136.343 mph, 6.601 sec ET
2nd run: 132.063 mph, 6.815 sec ET
Average: 134.168 mph, 6.708 sec ET
The top speed, not measured under FIA, would have been approximately 270 mph since the car accelerated all the way through the quarter mile.
These record claims are ?unofficial? since there is no FIA record category for women.
Regardless, Paula performed professionally for her first time in a dragster.
