Got to watch Colin Chapman use a velocity gauge to individually tune the stacks on Jimmy Clarks car at Watkins Glen F1 race.

When I taught Auto Mechanics we put a Ford 289 in the back seat of a Corvair and the 140hp(I think) Corvair engine was put in an Izetta(not by the school), one of them little 2 seat things that the whole front opens up to get in. Got to drive the Corvair but never the Izetta which I was told if you punched it going down the road in 2ng gear would do wheelies. Yes it had a wheely bar on the back side. After I left the Auto Mechanics and started an Office Machine Repair Class at the school a student wrecked the Corvair and it was junked.
