City of Industry is one of two gassers sharing the name.Davis, Larry. Gasser Wars (Cartech, 2003), pp.180-8.
The first car named City of Industry was a Cadillac-powered 1953 Kurtis. It won the NHRA national titles in A/SP (A Production) at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1958 (with a pass of 12.17 seconds at ),Davis, p.180. AM/SP (A Modified Production) at Detroit Dragway in 1960 (with a pass of 12.29 seconds at ), and at Indianapolis Raceway Park in 1961 (with a pass of 11.91 seconds at ) and 1962 (with a pass of 12.53 seconds at ).Davis, pp.180-3.
The second was a Cadillac-powered 1963 Kurtis. It won the national AAM/SP (A Modified Production supercharged) title at Indianapolis Raceway Park in 1964 with a 10.62 at pass. Despite its relatively high power, the cars transmission, a 3-speed Manual, would be geared in such a way that it would get relatively little of its power down, and as such it would spin its wheels all the way through its pass.Davis, p.184.
Both were driven by Sam Parriott throughout their racing careers.Davis, pp.180-4.
