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.

And where are they now, I wonder?
A sample of some of the cars that Mr. Don Long built a few years back:
"Slingshot" Dragsters before the more modern rear engine type.
My favorite book from my youth was a crime mystery/adventure book about a high school kid who worked on a pit crew over the summer. His crew had a bright red slingshot double AA fuel dragster named Bombardier while his arch rival had a blue rear engine dragster whose name escapes me.
Somebody was sabotaging the cars and our hero figures it out just before the flag drops at the top of the meet! Pretty cool, but I can not for the life of me think of the title or he author.
