Quote: Here I am sitting on a cinder block on the line at Hudson Dragway. Bill Hayes took the photo. Check out the "Tree" hanging from horizontal cables above me. If you get out of shape here, you really have a problem. Also notice that the shutdown area goes uphill. If that did not stop you, then the trees at the top would. If you somehow went through the trees, you went over the cliff.
You can't make this up.

Forget all of that - the ride back down the hill on the return road, through the trees, with all the curves, at night was something to scare you half to death!
And your right you were not making any of it up!
"Turbo will be easiest, and at the HP level will also be easiest on parts. Spend the money to do it right, and you can build a 500 HP street motor that will live a long and happy life, and probably with a very basic short block."
Those words must have left a bad taste in his mouth!
