You wish....

First twisted shaft I ever saw was at the old Deer Park dragstrip N of Spokane in the mid '60s. A 56 Chev wagon "modified production" I think it was a 327. He was fighting high end miss, and after a run, there was a quiet lull. What we heard and could not see, was an illegal short run back on the return road, he got on it in 1st and 2nd and suddenly sounded like a missed shift. Later, they came back towing the car, one of the guys "triumphantly" holding the twisted off shaft stub out the window.

I believe this was Kent or Hank Arons / Aarons from somewhere in WA state, if anybody knew them
