That is funny to me because back during the 80s I frequented a small dirt track near Ft. Hood. I used to tell the others that I filled my tires with helium. Also welded a broken air pressure gauge to a non critical part of the roll cage. It was stuck at 80 pounds. I told the others that I had pressurized helium in the roll cage to make the car lighter. You would be surprised at how many people believed me.

Dont get me started about how a rumor got started about my wooden roll cage.
