[Fot] Longest Drive - 1988 One-Lap

[Bill Sohl]

Back in 1988, Charles Runyan and I co-drove the TRF TR-250 a total of 8300
 miles...over an 8 day time frame.  Except for one hotel stay about the 4th
 night, we literally
 were almost 100% on the road.  We finished 15th out of 54 entrants.

 Cheers,
 Bill Sohl
