[Land-speed] MAT-Team cracks over 200 mph... on ice!

[Benn]

As a half-Finn, it's interesting on a couple of counts.....But, I don't
think 321.65 km/hr qualifies as cracking 200mph.  It doesn't miss by
much, but it is shy a small fraction of a mph according to my calc.
I wonder how they got a smooth course--road grader?  The edges look
pretty rough...
