<VV> that smell

Charlie, 

So can we all - and (to me) it's a good "smell" - odor actually. 

CCE participated in a particular parade in an unnamed local burb of Chicago 
until 3 or 4 years ago.? We usually had a dozen of more cars and were near 
the start of the parade celebrating the start of the school year. 

We quit that parade after a complaint from a (lone SFAIK) parent about the 
"smell" and the "unsafe" hydrocarbons.? They wanted to put us in the very 
LAST position (after the street sweepers picked up the horse manure?). 
Despite our defense that the cars were all using modern (unleaded) fuel, the 
complaint continued. 

We went elsewhere for our parade with no complaints since.? Oh, now we get 
paid (club treasury) for being there! 

Later, JR

I think there was a story about Ed Roth rigging up some perfume injection thing to the exhaust on some of his show cars. 


I happened to spend a half hour or so around a fairly radically cammed, manifolded and single-four bbl carbed 340 Dodge Duster this past weekend in a garage with wide open doors at each end of the shop. Mostly fast idle, a few bursts to 4-5k, plus a few dozen well timed arcs of the motor for "test" purposes. Yes, riding home my young compatriot commented on having a headache.
