[Land-speed] 283?

[David in Durango]

Land speeders:

I shared this 283mph news with some GT40 folks and got this reply:

"Go read the Ford GT forum. These guys are frauds that showed up at an event 
a couple years back with goons and machine guns roaming other pits scaring 
women and children. The numbers they claim are BS. "

I understand Ford GT cars have run 257 at the Texas Mile (lots of witnesses 
and competitors) so the 283 seemed almost believeable.

Sorry for the mis-information.

David
