[Land-speed] Un-offical FIA record

[wester6935 at comcast.net]

Previously the Howard Nafzger liner ... at least he built it.  Howard had to sell it when his back problems wouldn't allow him to sit in it or work on it.  Wooden bought it and sold it to Nearburg.  Somewhere along the way they lengthened it by seven feet, put in a suspension on the rear and some more minor changes.
