Aw heck, you're right. I knew Polio didn't sound right. This doesn't make me feel any better about my one blemish.
My father had polio as a small child. It gave him some problems throughout life, but nothing obvious.

Sounds like Schopenauer was broke, and didn't have any friends.

If it's going to come out at all, I'd say the rear is the best place for it

I've never seen diesel flame out like that. Not that I hang around the track. I wonder if he had propane injection on it?

From what I read a progressive controller for the nitrous oxide didn't work correctly, and gave the truck a full dose immediately instead of incrementally.
