A few years ago i called the number i found to order the book that was written about EJ. EJ himself answered the phone to take my order and we had an intresting chat about his pulling tractors and the V8 bike. EJ'S tractor was not as flashey as some of the other pulling tractors but it made them look stupid when he kicked there collective AZZ'S. He did that at the biggest pulling event of the year. RIP EJ.

Quotes from the Bangshift EJ Potter interview:

"The acceleration would be real noticeable and the vibrations, bumps, and engine noises would stop registering. It got kinda mental. It would feel like I was doing something that was not supposed to be even possible because from the time I drew that first picture in school of the Chevy and two wheels, nobody I ever talked to about it ever thought it was possible, and more to the point, nobody thought I could do it. So here I am going real fast, real smooth, all by myself approaching a place that no one else could, at that time, get to."

"Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even usually surpassing knowledge."
