Heres its Big brother "Blastolene Special" with Patton Tank Motivation. I wonder how much Leno coughed up for this one?

BOY!! Would I like to take a few laps on a dirt track with that Shaw Special. I don't think you'd be able to remove the grin off my face.

Thanks Unk! I SWEAR I saw that at Hershey a few years back. Mostly I remember the HEADERS!
Any idea about those "bitchin" headers?? They project FORWARD of the runner and come to a bullet POINT!
Dunno what the FUNCTION might be...early expansion chamber??...Maybe supposed to form some kind of a pressure cushion??...but I sure do love the FORM!!
