I was sitting on the front row ...At this very track the first time I watched a jet engine propelled semi . Not sure if it was the early Shockwave ; or a later Shockwave.
Smoked (burned) some wires between poles behind it when warming it up if recalled right.
What a riot! Feel it shake right through you when it goes blasting by.
Not enough track though. Ha ha ha. Just getting flying when time to back off. Not that it wasn't moving right along...

Prior I'd seen a couple tractors at a pull ( Ye olde Pontiac Silverdome days) with helo engines. Singles. Mixed results. One pooped out and another made short work of a full pull.

Same pulling event , there were some Rolls Royce engines . Kinda mixed results there too. Too many cylinders in a row or something.
Multiple engines on some tractor frames too.
Fun. But an expensive hobby .

Yep, that's the one. From what I've read, the early ones (2-valve) were built in Windsor. Perhaps that's where I'm confusing the names of things?

Just brush it with an old toothbrush, to retain the patina.
Some will use some a light oil (nose oil has been used to enhance the patina)
The brass gets attacked by the elements in the dirt.
(Burnt) is the term often used to describe the effects.
If you're digging old buttons the old coinage should be around also.

I agree. Wouldn't want to use the current toothbrush.

I had to research the Triton engine. This is a good read.
