[Fot] World's Fastest Triumph?

[Tony Drews]

As I recall, the original question was "what are the speed records 
for a TR-3 for both stock and modified".  I would expect them to be 
somewhat less than the overall records.  I couldn't find any list of 
speeds by make / model - just max for the F and G classes (a 83 mm 
TR-3 should qualify for G, I think).  Would be cool to find some sort 
of detailed history of the attempts with make / model info.  I've not 
googled that successfully yet.
