In 2016, Danny Thompson drove his father Mickey Thompson's Challenger II to break the existing naturally aspirated streamliner record with a combined speed of 406.769mph. Then in 2018 he drove the restored 50-year-old vehicle to a blistering two-way AA/FS record of 448.757mph, a mark that stands to this day.
