    Very cool!!

    I was always under the impression that they used 4.1 V-6 blocks for the Indy cars, article states they were 4.0...

    Jay Leno had the opportunity to drive a Buick Bug. It was the only time that I have ever seen him look terrified driving a car. It had a huge displacement, was capable of 100 mph plus speeds, and (like virtually all cars of the pre-WW 1 era) had lousy brakes. I think there is a video of him and the Bug on You Tube.

    I saw the "Bug" run down the 1/4 when I was in Ohio one time for a Buick meet. BMD was there with a few of their one off cars.
    Was great seeing the "Bug" run even though it was farting & popping all the way down. Gotta remember this was a 1909 vehicle.
