As did Ken Walky and Ed Tradup in the Danny Boy Apple streamliners. Both over 300. BTW the PollyWog is being restored to current rules so it can run again. I understand there are others in the works.

Don't overlook what happens to the oil when the 'chute hit's. If you put a 24" wrench on the pinion shaft and can jump on it when the steering linkage is disconnected without the wheels trying to tu
