John,
Do you remember the Pontiac Tempest engine (left bank of the V-8)
powered dragster he built? He was telling a group of us at the
Winter Nationals how the thing shook so bad he had to hold it
in 2nd and he found cracks in welds every time he looked. I never
saw the twin BOP dragster

I spent many Friday nights at the Colton dragstrip which had a very
short paved shutdown area and a good sized open field after that.

More fun,
Bryan
