    Robert Wadlow, who is arguably the tallest man in recorded history, stands next to a pole-mounted traffic signal in Manhattan, New York. Circa 1937. At the time, Wadlow's confirmed height was 8 feet 11.

    Warren Poole's dragster, from Muscatine, Iowa, with his wife driving. This car was well built, with a thin tube frame and a homemade blower induction system. That roll bar in front of the driver would hardly pass inspection today, but this was not the only car of its time to have one (Don Garlits, 1955, for example).

    Kept the crossover exhaust of the stock Y-Block. No steering box problem.
