...After a couple of miles, he pulled off the road and cruised past a sign that said Spruce Creek Farms. This was the road to the old airport where there were both sanctioned, that is Don Garlits and the Green Monster popping parachutes at the end of a 240 mph run, and midnight drags, which were accompanied by the popping of several kegs.

By the end of the race, the 'Cliffe eight had shipped five inches of water in the bottom of the craft, and finished behind Vesper, barely qualifying for the finals...
