No first hand knowledge here, but I remember reading in Hot Rod back in the early sixties Mickey was running not only against 1/4 mile records (NHRA), but
international records (FIA) that included standing kilometer (about .6 miles). FIA classes were based on liter engine sizes. 183 cubic inches is 3 liters, a likely class break. It was probably destroked.
