How many of you know of aviation engines out there that are being
used for oddball type jobs.

For example anyone know the history of some of the jet engines used
to dry off the NASCAR type racetracks when they are a little wet.




OK Some New NEWS..

Steve Fossett is planning on some highspeed testing in LATE Aug
on the Bonneville Saltflats between Speedweek and the World of Speed
events. Using the revamped Spirt of America jet car..

possible speeds to 600mph on this engine. then they re-engine for
the 800 attempt if all goes well..
