As it has been pointed out already in this thread.

If you have properly working big drum brakes it will stop the car fast and straight the first time. And even the second time

Where the disc are better is on the repeated stops with hot brakes

My RT Challenger with manual drum brakes, 11 x3 front , 11 x 2 1/2 rear would stop the drag car no problem, fast and straight from 120 mph
