Quote from: Freud
Scott, you young whipper snapper, prior to the 200 MPH theoretical maximum, 160 MPH was predicted to be unachievable. Barrett can probably remember when it was "established" at 135 MPH. He can also remember when the first dirt was made.

Breathing was said to be the first problem encountered by the Speed Racer.
I guess that is part of why they are going faster now to hurry and get it over with.
Did you ever notice that Nolan always drove with a water soaked rag in his mouth ?

I washed my Elgin pocket watch in the ditch by the dike but never have had a premier piece like a Roll-ex.

Dolan told everyone the drag race max speed was 100 when he knew he could run 110 and be sensational.

Slow down Top Fuel? No problem!

Have you seen somebody run with the chute out? Good luck running 300 dragging the laundry!

Old! Heck I think I saw Scott Guthrie checking times with a calendar!
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.
