“Mach IV” exhibition racer is owned by Jill and Gary Weckesser of Delavan Wisconsin, and a lot of the machine work was done by Gary himself. The stats are as outrageous as the visuals- four engines, four-wheel drive, 7-second quarters at an average of 180-190 per. All the engines are set to a synchronized firing order, and all the power goes through a single, well abused clutch. Now, if we could just pit it against Tommy Ivo’s Showboat. . .
