Funny anecdote - Some years ago I was hanging out with Eddie Hill at his house and he asked me if I wanted one of his record-breaking pistons as a souvenir. I said sure and we headed out back his shop. He had a large carton full of pistons on the shelf and pulled one out and said "That doesn't look half bad" and moved it to a different box before he found a different one to give me.
Of course, his house also has a driveway that you can do 1/4 mile runs on.
