Hot Rod magazineÕs November 1956 coverage of the NHRA Nationals in Kansas City reported a 134.93 mph clocking. Competing as a''B-Modifie'' roadster, the Weaks & Noble roadster entry ran in the next-to-last runoff in the Final Eliminations against Mel HeathÕs Hemi-powered dragster. Although Heath won the race, records show the Weaks & Noble/Paul Sylva car turned a best time of 135.54 mph in 11.32 seconds.
