A long time ago (~1970) I was asked to help shake down a fuel harley at the Suffolk Va dragstrip. While I might have been a little less than honest when i filled out the entry form, the objection that the sanctioning body had was that I didn't have a fuel mask. They made me take of my bell star and go to a magnum helmet so I could wear an "old school" fuel mask. It just so happens that Tommy was there doing some exhibition passes and was willing to loan me one of his.
OK, this was before the days of rollers (or modern starting systems) - we pulled the harley at 50 mph coming back on the return lane to light if off on alcohol, then pulled into stage and turned on the fuel valve. This was an S&S stroker running 92% nitro / 8% benzene. It had one gear in the transmission (no neutral) and a 4" Avon slick. The bike had never been down the track so I was supposed to do an easy pass. It went 9.58 at 137mph on the first pass and I lost my ride. Seems even back then I didn't follow instructions well.
Now back to harassing boB about his combination.

There was a guy years ago in a stock body A at Maxton that had an overhead valve head on the banger I saw it run 100 in the mile.
