[Land-speed] Fwd: Jesse James "record" at El Mirage

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

     "Why can't folks just follow the rules?"

     Because they are lazy and always seek the easy way out ?

    And all they really care about is the glitz and notoriety of hot rodding,
-and 'getting "ink"


      -not the  -real-  essence of it...


       just my 2 cents        Your Mileage May Vary


c heers,   '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
