Got my engine builder one time, too.

We were in Atlanta and tuning up a new engine and combination. He was leaning over the carb and motioned for me to crank it and when I did it backfired up from the carb.

Singed his hair and eyebrow pretty good.

He was really excited to show me his new helmet at the next event:

So - back to being serious - I think we all know that these cars can be tricky, especially when dealing with fuel but also in the garage environment itself.

You know the drill; Let's all be careful out there.

I'm sorry - I know it shouldn't always be about the cars, but - I am reminded that President Taft motorized his presidential fleet and that one of the cars he had was a 1909 White Steamer:
