Anyone heard of Jim Crank, who I found has gone  fast in a steam powered
salt-racer?  He was working for the state of California analyzing Lear's
efforts with a steam powered bus and a Monte Carlo.  Folk tales of 26 CHP
cruisers going 140-150 mph built by Lear were dispelled by this fellow in a
post on another web-list.
