Also, there's a story about a couple of NASCAR drivers profiling their big, luxury Class A motorhomes around the track when the competitive spirit got the better of them. Supposedly, speeds topped 100 mph before officials got them to knock it off.
Finally, ask "Lead-Foot" Leeann about a certain tire-smoking episode ...

Hey, you drive a Jaguar 50 mph in a 65 mph zone, I'm gonna get ticked off. And with a 20' class A, fully empty - no water, no propane, only one gas tank with gas in it and no supplies - I'm gonna pass your butt. Going uphill without real mufflers and a 440 that has some oomph.
That's most of the story

And I really love good tire smoking stories.
Back in the 90s, a friend of mine had cracked heads on his. When he enquired as to new heads the parts people said the last 10k pairs had been sold to a high performance company to be sold to the racers.
The attraction was that they had water jackets in the heads, supposedly. The price for new or used heads was more than the MH was worth at the time.
We pulled the engine and tranny, and installed a 390ci ford motor and tranny.
