Default Re: Gas mileage question

Many many years ago there was a story in the paper about a 1927 Chevy that got 100 mph. (Anybody remember this?) The photo in the paper showed the roadster running around an oval track that was normally use for track meets. There was one person driving and one person feeding gasoline into the intake manifold with an eye dropper. The tires were bald and pumped up to make them solid. Probably at less than 25 mph. I must have been in high school, so maybe 1957 or so.
