Dave,

Look at the book! Anything with Racing Beat is the sole remaining rotary
record.

E/BGT @ 238 - 1986
E/GT  @ 183 - 1978

The G/Prod record set in 1973 was raised in 2000 by a Ford Focus station
wagon to 141 from 138. A 3 mph jump, was the rotary unfairly factored by x3
when a well preped  entry can put only 3 mph on a record almost 30 years
old?
