In typical NHRA style, they let the Mallicoat Brothers run turbochargers heads up against Rootes style blowers as long as they were going slow. Once they started winning, NHRA changed the rules.

We now know what the potential of a setup like this is capable of using modern tech.
Tom Bailey did a 5.99 in the 1/4 mile on Drag Week a few years back with a full bodied car and twins on a billet aluminum engine.
