| Down
'n Out Press is
named after a Blown Fuel Hydro Dragboat. One of many liquid
quarter
mile dagboats driven by my oldest brother Dwight W. Bale. Dwight and I
both appreciated Led Zeppelin hard rock, particularly the lyric that
goes,
"took some time for I found out, what people mean by down
'n out." Like all blues, its effect is not meant to be as negative
as the words may sound. As John Lee Hooker said, there's a healing in
the
blues and an authentic lyric is always liberating. Anyway, I was lucky
to have attended the 1971 Long Beach Nationals when Bale took Top Fuel
honors, with a quarter mile speed of 198 M.P.H. / E.T. of 7.73 seconds.
Believe me a seven second 1/4 mile on water is VERY LOUD! VERY QUICK!
and
DAMNED IMPRESSIVE! |
