I worked at Hughs Aircraft for a bit in 1969-72. Very close by was TRACOR, engine builder for many Can-Am teams. We often could hear them dyno testing at night. What a sound.

Correction, company was TRACO. Still around apparently, now in N.C>

Link to a page with some gorgeeous engines of theirs, if you are into that sort of stuff:

TRACO ENGINES

Can-Am, those were the days. Nothing like a constructive work environment. (grin)
