The Chapparel was a sight to see, and hear. The two suction fans were powered by a snowmobile motor, and the car's engine was a Chevy bigblock. So you heard the constant whine of the snowmobile motors, and the roar of a BBC rising and falling as it came by.

[...] But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
