[s-cars] Too many notes

[Len McKenzie]

Thanks for the reminder!

I forgot to mention my 100cc National class direct drive Go-kart with it's
long stroke Yamaha (for the twisty tracks), and short stroke Parilla (for
the faster tracks).  Those things howl like you would not believe at
something like 14-16K rpm depending on gearing.  Get the gearing wrong (as I
seemed to do rather frequently), and you end up exploding the engine and
locking the back wheels at something over 100mph.  Now that's a thrill ride!

Whall, if you're talking creeping hair on the back of the neck, thrills &
chills run'n up'n down your spine & screams from the audience, I'd go with
the sounds of a 36cc two stroke McCullough or Husquevarna chain saw engine
at a Texas drive in theater on date night  :-)

Nice list of sound bite memories &/or experiences though Len.
