A couple fun pictures for you early 'A' guys from back in the day.
E.J. Potter had some serious stones!

"Nightmare Too, a Dodge Dart station wagon also powered by an Allison V-1710. When the Dart’s exhibition career was over, he removed the aircraft engine, welded the floor pan back in, reinstalled the stock drivetrain, and put it back on the road for Mrs. Potter to drive."

LOL, I remember seeing jet powered vehicles of different types back in the day. Used to see motorcycle jumpers too. One guy had a kite fixed to his bike and would light off some sparklers from the wing tips during his jumps. Another jumper did the flaming hoop jump.

They went away just like real funny cars went away.
