HEMI and INDY Collector's Edition DRAG RACER

The September 2014 DRAG RACER magazine has an historical article covering the HEMI from 1951 to present day. Actually a pretty good read; it brought me up to speed on a couple of things that I was vague on. $6.99. On display until September 23/14. Four chapters from pages 24 to 48.

Nice. I found the undersquare interesting as it reminds me of the 225 Chrysler slant six at 3.40 x 4.1...
