Ron Lowe replaced Devine and McDougall.[4] Scuderia made her debut at the 1963 NHRA Winternationals at Pomona, California in Top Gas, recording a best pass of 8.83 seconds at {{convert|169.17|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} before mechanical trouble sidelined her. She also won the "Best Appearing" award.[5] At Arlington, Scuderia set a Top Gas record (average of two passes) at {{convert|162.22|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[6]The car was retired in 1967. In the 1980s, Scuderia made a comeback when Williams entered her in West Coast nostalgia drag races, crashing at Fremont. He restored the car and returned to racing in the early 1990s.[7] Notes1. ^Taylor, Thom.
