The Craftsman Museum has an amazing collection of miniature mechanical projects and should be on everyone's list to visit when you are in the area! Also, a little known fact is: it's built on the actual Carlsbad Raceway drag strip land.The Raceway has been gone for many years.

'Total displacement is .30 cubic inches'. Should that read 30, not .30? Surely....
