After deducing the operating principle of the lever, Archimedes declared, “Give me a place to stand and a lever long enough, and I will move the world.” After more than two millennia of progress, Chrysler debuted their 426 Hemi engine. It’s a heck of a lot more exciting than a long stick, …

One of my favorite UTCC cars of all time. That thing was so over the top---- and ridiculously fast!

That in car video of the fast laps at the UTCC is awesome. 
I might argue that this is the the worlds craziest door-slammer, but I like yours too.

A quarter of a decade passed, and in that time Glenn had become a logger and lumberman who occasionally autocrossed.
Did you mean a quarter of a century? Because 2.5 years isn't really a very long time. ;-)
I think I saw 2nd gear deliver 55 to 120 mph, and I believe this is the first time I've ever witnessed a tach move slower than the speedometer. way slower. I suppose the audi diesels that ran endurance a couple years ago did that but I never saw it.
