Really is is kind of amazing how in the early days those guys hung on to drive these cars and how much we have learned since then.

I remember Art Arfons and his Green Monster -
The most famous "Green Monster" was powered by an F-104 Starfighter General Electric J79 17,500 lbf static thrust jet engine with four-stage afterburner, which Arfons purchased from a scrap dealer for $600 and rebuilt himself, over the objections of General Electric and the government, and despite all manuals for the engine being classified top secret."Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhil
