    Thought some of you might get a kick out of checking out this early footage, 1960, of John Buehler running his then new jet drive up the Colorado river. The event was filmed by national geographic and they also did a story on the trip in their mag at the time.
    He was using a Ford interceptor for power, the old Y block, either a 292 or 312. Pretty cool clips, and there's sound too.
    Kinda reminds me of Parker on a busy weekend.
