Pretty impressive demonstration of earlier Mercs, but I was also taken by the runabouts...which looked like they might have been built by Aristocraft (?) (Anybody know...?)
Thanks for posting!

I recently read Iron fist which desribes in fascinating detail Kiekhaefer's approach to NASCAR, which was basically a fanatical focus on winning. Great book, for anyone who hasn't read it.
