[Land-speed] Worlds Fastest Sunbeam - The Rest of the Story, Day 4 & 5, Friday and Saturday

[Larry Mayfield]

  They were pitted just about 40 yards from us. we went over to look at 
he car and to chat. However, we were not good enough to talk to them.  
They were favored with lots of money and they literally runed up their 
noses when we menioned our Sunbeam.  We wished them well and left.  
Snobs. More money than brains club members.
