Bruce, Thanks for those pics.Reminds me of our early days at the drags in NZ at Port road,seeing dragsters powered by aero engines and lots of flatheads.
You can see that those were FAR different times than now.
I wonder what would happen if we fronted up at tech inspection at our track in one of those old rockets .

Can't be. That looks like a '46.
