Makes me think of a story :
My dad had a buddy that ran a fuel dragster back in the 60's. The guy was in it as a hobby (GM skilled trades was his day job), not a lot of capital, so his equipment was pretty rough. He made a pass one time and somehow the nitro fumes got to him, so when dad and the rest of the crew chased him down he was throwing up at the big end. He told dad "...Van, I don't think I can ride back in the car. You'll have to sit in there and we'll tow you back".
Dad said he got settled in and they started back down the return road. Of course, you are sitting right on top of the diff housing, and the rear end in this thing is going "BANG! Clank, clank, clank BBRRRRRRR BANG! Clank, clank clank, BBRRRRRRR..." all the way back to the pits.
Dad said he didn't feel safe in that thing going 10 mph down the return road; he couldn't imagine going down the racetrack in it.
