    A friend of mine Teched there in the 60's, awesome, awesome, awesome video! I think I saw a shot of "Hands" in there?

    And a mention of Gene Snow, didn't I hear of a little trouble he got in to recently?

    Screw building our next Hot Rod, we need a damn time machine brothers!

    I was imagining the 3000hp P-47's taxiing, but had no clue about the drag strip.
