Well, Yer Kindly ol' Unka Bart is weee bit curious (an extremely polite way 
of saying "skeptical") about this last claim.  12.2 in a quarter-mile?

I wonder if the original author of this claim has any left...?

If anyone see him, would you be so kind as to ask him to pass it over this way?
Unless, of course, he plans to hog that dobbie to the bitter end...
