    Amen. Even driving on it back in the 70's was a fun excerise.

    Cummins supplied the power, but it took a Ford to haul it to the top! Without the Ford, the Cummins would just rock back and forth on the ground making a hell of a racket.

    I raced it in '78 on a modified Harley Davidson Flat Track bike.... It did not go so well... Can't remember exactly but I finished low in my class. One time deal though.
