For me the coolest thing is talking to some super knowledgeable people face to face... Chase Knight, Carl Foltz, Scott Keiffer, Warren Johnson, Ken Veney, Don Enriquez, Scott Hall to name just a few.
From a product standpoint, there was a young kid from Australia named Noonan that was building beautiful billet blocks, heads, manifolds, valve covers, etc.  that were lightened to the max. His parts look like jewelry. Some interesting observations were Chemical Vapor Deposition coatings on rings and pistons, very thin (0.6 mm) rings and the GM LS motor appears to be future of hot rodding.

I guess my 0.43 ring package is a little out of date ! Billy was using an ultra thin ring on his stuff very pricey about 900 dollars for top rings !

I have always had a fascination with fast cars at the expense of more normal character development

Based on some things I'm hearing, you may still have the hot set up for an engine running methanol.
