I remember going to his shop as a kid. I did not understand 1/2 of what he and my dad talked about. I did understand how cool the stuff he built was.

I loved this from Car and Driver article yesterday.
Watchmaking has long been the province of skilled artisans, experts with steady hands who can turn the intricate spinning of tiny cogs and springs into the exact measurement of time. Amateurs. Try getting a bunch of precision-milled metal to house controlled detonations at 9000 revolutions per minute, huffing nitromethane and hurling a spindly dragster down the quarter-mile, breaking into the six-second zone.
Such was the life's work of legendary engine builder Ed Pink,
