A very tough way to end Dayton Testing.


...........a little pit humor. 
This was, of course after Carl 'vented' his 215 Buick block.

My good friend Ron Snyder posing with the original rudder from Agitator that
he recently found some 35 years later in his shop!  When he found it he said
'There is only one person who I know that would want it'. 
It will hang proudly in my new shop.
