The Master Distiller was there signing and talking with the customers.
    We waited til the crowd cleared and spent a good 30 minutes in just plain good conversation with Jimmy Russell.

    Heck! I would live in a rack house if they’d let me!

    Back in the 60's when I was going to college, P.A. Sturtevant, of torque wrench fame, lived two blocks from school. He built as set of custom headers for a friend of mine's corvair, who ice raced in Wisconsin in the winter. Sturtevant had a 4wd Power Wagon with a blown 426 hemi in it. He used to do 4 wheel burnout exhibitions at the National Drags in Indy. Full 1/4 mile ones.

    Nice, an Allison V-1710, which was a backup engine to an unlimited hydroplane. I've heard of this truck, but until these pics, I've never seen it. Now I understand what all the fuss was about. Does the truck and trailer still exist?
