Elmo Gillette told me his general practice with the Ardun Red Head
streamliner was to run high gear only, a heavy steel flywheel and a
Long-style clutch(easier to hold in for starting).  Push the car up to
60+ mph with the truck, let the clutch in and chug away up to top speed
on the Long Course.  He said it was easier on the driver not to shift
gears; just steer and keep the gas pedal down all the way.  Bill
