Many years ago that mag or maybe CarCraft had a couple of "project" series, one was a yellow 32-ish coupe. I remember "shortening the driveshaft" they had some dope saw the tube and WELD THE TUBE back together someplace in the middle
=======================
I "would have had proof" of B.S. if I'd saved a little announcement I read. "Some magazine" back in the 70's way in the back, was a little boxed in area in not-very-large print. this was one of the popular mags, Hot Rod, Popular Hot Rodding, or Car Craft.
What this said in essence, is "when we test cars and publish track times"................."and we feel the weather, the car, the driver was not up to what we think it should be, we factor times an mph"
