First speed week I ever attended in the 80's looked just like that. Inspection took place at the air field. Coming from the right coast who knew such a thing like water covering the salt could happened. That trip was a learning experience!
Working in the shop I use the 'F' word a lot. No not that word these words Focus and Finish go Fast and Flathead Ford!
