[Doug .............]

 Hi Tom  reading between the lines,..

it appears that the Burklands have decided
 to (due to $$$ no doubt ) retire from racing LSR?

What a dam shame



understandable,   but a dam shame nevertheless

cheers,   'Dirt Track Doug '



       -105 + miles south of the world famous 'Syracuse
Mile '
       -241.4  miles north of the Williams Grove Speedway pit gate
       -2247  or so miles due east of the marvelous Bonneville Salt
Flats

The Burkland Streamliner record speed has to be admired...
especially when you look at the road traveled to get there.
