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?

Actually Mark Williams and the Peek brother out of Colorado hab been running a real engine T/F dragster in there area for quite a while. Car just never got much publicity as they never ventured far from home. Chassis builder Ed Mabry of Arlington, Texas had a new rear engine chassis hanging in the ceiling and three or four front engine chassis on order. The day after Big Daddy's unveiling of his new rear engine car Ed had all front engine car orders cancelled and plenty if rear engine cars on order. As I recall the two speed transmission blew up cutting the chassis I'm half. The rest is history.
