Oddly enough, that's exactly what I was thinking. I have all of this safety equipment but fortunately will never have to use it. Other than that, we had a great visit. Old Henry is always welcome at my house. Wayno

Thanks Wayno. Been watching your project with great interest over the years. I saw the pic of the aft end of your motor and figured it was an auto of some sort. I've heard that some folks use the Chevy Powerslide for racing on the salt.

OK, OK, I fixed it. (Should have put the sarcastic emoticon after the "when's".)
Sorry.

Prof. Henry, Thanks very much for your posts and photos. Wayno has really raised my salt itch.
