First of all, at that time you did'nt work for Callaway and you know John was a modest man and would never claim something he did'nt do. It's funny how this stuff comes up now after John passes on. Not too long ago Reeves was trying to claim that he drove the car to that speed and got caught and had to backpedal out of his story. Theres still alot of people alive that still know the truth and will speak on behalf of John. We don't expect you to say anything different then what you're coached to say, otherwise you'll be looking for a new job. The next thing were ready to hear is that Callaway invented the turbo and his #1 and #2 cheerleaders will be right there ( with their pom poms ) to cheer him on.
off as "facts"Someguys got 'em, you... well, keep going and I will offer to pay you to stop posting. This is nonsense. Plain and simple.
Beautiful car and technology.

Here's a quote from a very close person to John.
John raced a 1962 2wd International Scout with a turbocharged 4 cylinder. It was and old orange Indiana & Michigan meter reading vehicle. I have a picture of it at home. I will forward. My recollection is that we went under the record at a points meet at Milan Michigan in the fall of 1969 or 1970. The scout would pull the wheels of the ground as it left the line. It was quite unique and fun for a while. Also John proved what he wanted, that he could make this unique combination run under the national record.
Nevermind asking what he was doing in the 80's. He was messing with turbos back in the late 60's early 70's while Reeves was probbably in kindergarden learning his A B C's.

Wow, your intelligence is clearly shining through. With fewer than five years of age separating the two, I am sure now more than ever, your posts are full of

Enough. Apparently some of you just can't agree to disagree in a civil manner.
