Racing Trivia?

[Cammer]

My third ex-wife's third cousin's brother's stepsister had an ex-boyfriend who knew a guy who used to sweep floors in his family's NASCAR shop and this floor sweeper guy told him that he heard from another guy's doctor that one of the top teams was running a carburetor capable of adding 300 horsepower over their previous next best combination. I think she said that he said that his brother said that his stepsister said that her ex-boyfriend said that the floor sweeper's name was Richard Pretty or Petty or something like that and that this Pretty/Petty guy went on to obtain and use this technology to win some local stock-car races. I told my third ex-wife that I thought that her third cousin's brother's stepsister's ex-boyfriend was full of it! Another third cousin's third husband on my third wife's third husband's brother's third son's side of the family said he knew about the Richard guy story and that the Richard guy actually did not do too well as the stock car numbers were handed out by how the cars ran and this Richard guy had number 43.

When I was growing up in the thirties I seem to remember reading in the newspaper that there was a half-brother of one of my half-sister's science teacher's half-brother's stepfather who designed an engine capable of running on deep fried chicken droppings. He put this engine in a stock-car and won every race he entered. Nobody came close to running with this car!

I wish I still had chickens!

Actually, that was Richard’s Uncles Cousin’s Brother’s Son’s Best Friends Dads Neighbor that had three hundred carburetors that he pulled in a trailer behind a one-horse power riding mower that was painted blue 43 times, when he sold, Chicken flavored ice cream cones to NASCAR deprived kids in Mexico because he lost his job sweeping floors.

But I’ve heard that he recently found his job and parked the mower so everyone can stop looking for his job, he found it.

Cammer, copies of your post now hang in my shop and in my favorite machine shop. Hilariously true!
