I don't think Scott Kelley has a swastika tattoo or bombed Pearl Harbor and his riceburner is running mid 9's not 13's and that's pretty remarkable for a FWD car running in a bracket race against rear drivers.

Your memory is deceiving you... Hitler had a lot to do with creating the Volkswagen and German race cars kicked everybody back then.

As for Pearl Harbor that was as much the US governments doing as the Japanese.
