[Land-speed] British Steam effort 139.843mph

[speedtimer at beyondbb.com]

Kilo 143 avg. Mile 148. avg. The FIA uses the total of  of the ET divided by 
2 and scta uses the avg. of the speed MPH for the total mph. There is a 
slight difference in the results.
As I don't have the actual ET to do the math we will have to wait for the 
official results. they went down at 144 and returned at 151. Don Wells was 
driving.
