And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Here's some TV Tommy Ivo for your Sunday entertainment
I remember coming home from school back in 1964, I believe, and seeing I got the new issue of Hot Rod Magazine. On the cover was the tractor trailer that TV Tommy Ivo used to get his dragsters from strip to strip. It was awesome. Clear Plexiglas sides so you could see the dragsters inside. Now, I worked Part time on the NJ Turnpike pumping gas at a Cities Service Station, north bound side in Yardville NJ. As I came into work, there was the Ivo rig parked in front of the service bays getting a tire changed. It looked even more awesome in real life.

Great story! Hot Rod Magazine - what a great publication!
DeleteInteresting, John. I lived in Manalapan, NJ and endured the sounds of Sunday Englishtown raceway for some time. Memories.
