Wasn't very long ago I remember reading that a dragster could never obtain 200 in the quarter. The car would disintegrate if it happened.
Some decades before that, people believed that if you traveled faster than a certain speed (I think it was about 30 mph) in
an automobile, that you wouldn't be able to breathe. This made no sense to me, because horses can run faster than that . . .
and, of course, so can cheetahs.
Didn't you ever hear the expression "Winners never cheat; Cheetahs never win"?
