[Land-speed] The Berekely

[John Staiger]

Thank you to everyone for the kind words of encouragement and to Keith for
selling me such a great car.  This cars capability is truly amazing and I am
very excited to be its new owner!  Based on it's documented history and the
wind tunnel data Keith provided, I truly believe 300mph is within the cars
capacity.  Of course our plans to start off with are much more humble...  

Gary Hensley has graciously agreed to partner with me in this pursuit.  We
will be joined by old fiends who have been absent from the salt for a few
years.  Collectively we plan to do great things with the old Berkeley while
having a lot of fun along the way.

We have already started sizing up the car for it's new engines and have
begun listing out a few other improvements and rebuilds that will be needed
along the way...

John

Just thought I'd mention that I sold the Berkeley to John Staiger,  He's
been
a list member for  several years and has worked with Gary Hensley on the
Bike
project...

Lots of reasons to sell the car... but mostly because I love working on that
Girly Camaro... and the Berk needed to run faster then I really had a desire
to run...

I'm looking forward to seeing it run again... Race cars aren't much good
sitting in the Garage.

Keith
