Sportsman moment of the year

Tom,

I remember that story. From what I read, in all the thrashing, someone grabbed a bolt and stuck it in the rubber fuel line to plug it (Probably before anyone ever really used braided line) and that bolt had some silicone on it. Lingenfelter fired the car up in the lanes and it died. Never would start. Took the carb apart and a piece of that silicone had found its way up in there. Hell of a thrash, though. That guy was an amazing individual.
