Hi Folks. After viewing and digesting E.J. Potter's two-hour videotape,
I would call it a good semi-pro job. Neither professional, nor amateur,
but interesting, and worth the $28 postpaid. Plenty of interview
footage with E.J., and plenty of sound and fury as he runs his Chevy V8
dragbike down the quarter mile for you, 35 years ago and in '99. Doing
times in the 150-170 mph range. Also other sidelights, Allison aircraft
engine in Dodge station wagon, Allisons in tractor-pull rigs, etc. E.J.
was one of those visionaries that bought Allisons cheap in the crate
when you could do that.
The videotape and his book are available at 1-877-A MAD MAN. Cheers
from Ardun Bill in the Great Dismal Swamp, Chesapeake, VA
