Not too many 75 year old men can hang with the 20
and 30 years old drivers, period. Have seen him stand a car on its bumper at Butler's, realize
that the wheelie bars were not installed by a crew man, gently bring the car down to the pavement over a hundred yard distance, and barely
knock the crank trigger sensor out of adjustment.
(no other damage to the car). Impressed the He**
out of me. Course Arnie probably ***** his pants
but you would not have known it by his driving.

You just don't like Chebby motors, If Arnie was
driving a 2000 hp IA motor (like Butlers) with spray you would be bragging him up instead of running him down.

Same deal for Marty. EVERYBODY LOVED Marty when he was running Traditional Pontiac. He goes to
a Chebby Blower motor and suddenly he lost all
of his "brownie points" with the fans. Amazing.

ps, I am a lot like Ken (PDude) in that I admire all fast pieces of iron or aluminum. The metal
doesn't know whose name is on it. A good driver is a good driver and can drive ANYTHING.
