Smokey's garage was just a couple blocks down the road from the Chrysler Plymouth dealership I worked at. That car probably came from there, it had been there for two forevers. Petty even worked on his cars there back in the sixties when they were in Daytona and the dealership was an associate sponsor. It was called Patterson Motors back then.

Soon, the number of people formally trained in the thermodynamics of Carnot heat engines, who could tackle drawing the temperature/entrophy graph of Smokie’s hot vapor engine mods, will be vanishingly small, like the veterans of D-Day on TV yesterday.

Gotta erase this from my thoughts,
or I will feel sad all day.

On the other hand a new crop of graduate students are being routinely assigned each year to draw the T/S graphs of the region around “Black Holes” in space, and it is doubtful a single correct one has been drawn yet.
