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.
That is what is known in top fuel as a "sneeze". the digger I crewed on, the blower would be torqued down with 1/2" aluminum nuts. If the blower "sneezed" but remained on the engine, the formerly 1/2" aluminum nuts would be removed by using 5/8" or 11/16" wrenches/ sockets. Very Exciting for the driver!!!

One night at the drags that whole bit landed about 15 feet from where I was standing. It was awesome. Of course, every trip to the drags is awesome.
