Evidently there never were any wooden brake drums per Oldfield and Spehar. Another funny thing Dick told me about the original Missile was the use of magnesium torsion bars (non-functional). They just sat the front end on the rubber snubbers. I got the impression that even at the beginning, Pro Stock wasn't too stock. That was quite a thing to get to talk to Dick at Carlisle for a few hours. Thanks to Stewart P. and Hemi Fred for connecting me with the big boys. It was kind of funny when we walked up to the MP trailer at Carlisle and David Hakim just about jumped off the trailer when he saw Dick walk up.

It would be good to get all the war stories written down and published in a book from these guys.
