Later that year, competing at the San Gabriel drags as the Weaks & Noble entry and painted in a similar fashion as the record setting Weaks & Noble Õ32 sedan, the Paul Sylva roadster turned 128.38 mph, with an 11.29-second elapsed time. Records show it was now powered by a fuel-injected De Soto Hemi, running on nitro-methane fuel, very likely the same 400+ bhp, Herbert roller cam equipped engine that had set records earlier in the Weaks & Noble Õ32.
