Hi George, this reminds me of the hobby in England 20 years ago when 
we had quite a few Pub car park shows.
I still remember running a Danish BLA 5HP engine all day.
When I came to move it I found the Exhaust which was pointing downward 
had blown a large hole in the Tarmac. (Road surface)
We packed up & left pretty sharp!
