Haha.. either way. It is great to encourage young potential scientists and engineers by allowing them to get ahold of hardware. It's amazing I survived those years considering all the stuff we did. By 13 I had perfected wheelies on the riding lawnmower and we were building mini bikes that we'd do fire burnouts with. I even had one when I was about 15 that was running a mixture of nitromethane and gasoline. Had ported, polsihed it, milled head, shot peened rod, custom header. Wiseco piston is in town and they were selling nitro in 12 oz cans. We were hot rods when we started driving too but all of the gang survived that era. Lots of funny stories from back then, so when the old gang gets together we end up rolling on the floor laughing.
