Suddenly, it's 1953 again.

I once worked with a guy at Lockheed who told me he owned a land speed record at Bonneville. "Really? What class?" He showed me a snapshot of a Roots blown flathead Chrysler 8 in a '34. The car had fueling problems that kept its best pass to around 140 in 1989. So there are people around that are crazier than you and I, Jack.

Loved his old tee shirt with an illustration of the car with the caption "The Trailing Edge of Technology"
