Old magazines are the best aren't they. I was at the Restoration Show at Stoneleigh on Sunday and I had to buy some late '50s Hot Rod Magazines. You know how it is.
Anyway, its fab coming across some gem you've never seen or heard of before and there was loads of back yard experimentation in drag racing in those days.
A similar idea to that used by Nick Mann (?) with his gas turbine powered turbo hill climber if my memory serves me right. Kinda like how Thrust SSC is using a recent era F1 engine as a fuel pump too.
