Many, Many years ago I tagged along with a friend to our local drag strip, (car drag strip that is). He was into drag racing, but I had little interest except for the beer that they sold. We were in the pit area and he was talking to a couple of the owners and the question of engine size was being discussed. I remember one of the owners making this comment, and I have no idea why I remembered it for so many years. "The only substitute for cubic inches is cubic money".
