with all the racers & builders....Don Garlits, Jack Chrisman, Tommy Ivo, Stone,
Woods & Cook with their very fine '49 Willy's coupe,and many more that I don't

I did some drag racing in my younger days, fun stuff.

Yep

No problem in selecting gearing then.

I do it every morning on the drive to work. If you aren't quick out of the hole coming onto the highway merge ramp you're getting a semi up your arse.

You mean you're NOT supposed to stop at the end of the on ramp to wait for it to be clear?
I recall a story about a proctologist who suffered from lack of depth perception.

Sounds like the Long Island Distressway. That's New York for you, New Jersey has long merge lanes.

Virginia adds another little fear factor to their ramps. They connect the on and off ramps together so the guys speeding onto the highway hit the guys slowing down to get off the highway.
