Dan,
So I will get to run against the old Burkland car again. Betty and I
butted heads in D/FCC for a few years running against a 205 MPH minimum.
Both records are now a bit higher, respectable numbers, Gas at 226.527
MPH (John Beckett #79) and Fuel at 234.393 MPH (our car #216). Looking
forward to seeing you again, welcome top the list.
Tom, Redding CA -#216 D/GCC
