- Section I-5 of the rulebook says cars over 175 are eligible for the long course. Section I-6 says all vehicles except streamliners must exceed 175 to qualify for the long course, which was in the bo

- It is my opinion that Jack Costella's liner is the most advanced streamliner construction existing. I can't imagine a better streamliner unless it incorporates downforce, which Jack Is against, build

- Don't forget this is my opinion. No one has ever paid for it yet, and know what its worth. Jack must have taken a very long look at Al Tegues car before starting on his. What I think is innovative is
