Lest we fail to mention it was George Mitchell and Skip Haney that ushered in the
spiral impeller. EVERYONE else jumped on the band wagon much later in the game.
I spoke to George at the V8 Meet in Frederick Maryland a long time ago. We stood
and observed his '39 1/2 ton happily idling away by Kens booth, for a hour...it was in
the high 80's to mid 90's as I recall. Just a tip o' the hat to the real visionaries.
