Now that I have everyone's attention,
Jack has us all covered in the streamliner category when it comes to pure
performance and that's why most of you build them. For someone building a
new liner from scratch with the intent of breaking one of Jack's records,
it's your challenge to expand the envelope and build a better mousetrap.
Like Jack told me some years ago, " If you build what everyone else has, you
will run like everyone else". I am not creative enough or flexible enough
(physically) to get in this game but that's the bottom line.
You might beat Jack with a copy of his car and you might not. See if you
can beat him at his own game of coming up with innovative fast cars.
