...well you know dont you that the Scots and the Iriish landed in America in the late 1700's with their wee stills...proceeded to farm small areas...turned their corn into whiskey cos they could get more "Money value" on their pack Horses...Govt put taxes on it so they did it at night so as not to get noticed by the smoke..hence "Moonshiners"...got their cobbers to take it to town to sell in their high boots...hence "Bootleggers"
When the cops got cars the moonshiners got cars to outrun them...fiddled with the carburetors and got faster...raced their cars in the weekends and started 'Nascar"
...............how did i get started on that?
