Yesterday we ran into Gaffo, Dr. Big Block, and the rest of the Vashon Island Wagons of Steel crew out here at Mopars at the Strip. The fleet towed down from the island over the course of 26 hours, resting for a mere four. All this after thrashing a fresh engine into the wagon just a day or two earlier. To complicate matters Gaffo goofed up his ankle here in Vegas, and the regular driver suffered the horrors of buffet bad chemicals. Gaffo is now tooling around on a rented golf cart. Behind the wheel here putting this heavy into elevens at triple digits is Crew Chief Dr. Big Block. No, it's not a hemi. It's not even a 426. It's a 480 cubic inch stroker wedge.
