    I remember going to the first California 500 at the Ontario Motor Speedway and the jet engine mounted on the back of a truck to dry the track as it was a rainy day...

    That was in 1970...

    We had a self contained rail cleaning machine with a jet engine that traveled the tracks at the steel mill. When they fired it up it scared everybody. You had to have a death wish to be anywhere near it. It cleared and melted snow and ice but it consumed huge amounts of fuel, which I figured would make the fire ball larger if it would blow up . Fortunately it would break down more than it ran.
