Hi folks,

While reading Howard Nafzger's comments about the car he designed and built,
"How did Charles hook up so much horsepower with two-wheel drive?b

A very interesting question. Before he did it, I couldn't believe you 
could put enough
power down on the salt to exceed 400MPH.

All I can think of is that the car has outstanding aero so it didn't 
have to put down
a lot of power...??

As it was an FIA run, it wasn't a tail wind.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks,
Bryan
