| Yeah... gotta love those jet trucks. In my younger days I used to run my Plymouth Fury out at Englistown, NJ and my buddies and I always went down for the jet cars and jet trucks. Ah... the good ol' days...

| What year was it? Was it a sticker or was it part of the speedo? A lot of older cars had "certified" speedo's as optional equipment. Mine was a 1970 with a 318 that was pushing 350+hp and was clocked (by a friend on the highway patrol) on radar at 146... just before the rear seat caught fire from the heat of the glasspacks (Cherrybomb's). I had it up to around 155+ in a timed run once before a rear tire started to let go. That got real interesting!
