Re: Ektachrome, 1978
It was strictly an exhibition car, and there wasn't really a class for it. Back then -- and perhaps still today -- there were rocket and jet powered dragsters that only ran exhibitions. Most of the jets turned low seven second elapsed times at about 270 mph. Some of the rockets turned 5 second elapsed times at over 300 mph. This one was powered by a general electric jet engine I believe, probably government surplus.

Re: Ektachrome, 1978
Thanks Mark. I enjoyed Roosevelt. It was a good environment with small classes and a lot of personal attention. It was transformational for me. Still remember studying in Grant Park and sneaking up onto the roof of the auditorium building to take in some summer sun. I entered as a second semester sophomore transfer student in 1969 and graduated in 1971. Good times.
