That would probably work. Interestingly, 50 years ago Joe Schubeck and 
POCA's Joe Moore were on the same pro drag-race team and knew each other 
personally. Somewhere around the mess I call my office is a photo of Joe Moore 
(with hair!) in his aluminum hemi-head big-block Ford dragster, idling it 
through the pits in So-Cal with no helmet and no seat belts. Rules were looser 
back then, for sure.   Relative to today's computerized missles, Joe's dragster 
looks like a kids toy with 800 horses in it! Cheers- J Deryke
