  A friend just told me that the class record for the  class I have been 
running the Sunbeam in now has a new mark to shoot for. It was 213 mph 
and that was doable for me. However, a run of 268 was just posted at 
Worlds Finals with the car now in impound for a record run later.  So, 
certainly not speeds I can deal with without very major modifications 
and really large infusions of cash, lol.  Maybe I will try another class 
if I can find one that is slower, lol.

Unless I can find a class to run in, then I guess the Sunbeam is done. 
I'll see about refreshing the motor with a new block and forged crank 
and rods and put it into our Tiger.  Or maybe go drag racing with Jerry 
Porch.  Maybe I can get his worlds quickest bragging rights title.. 
small maybe, lol... Be a lot cheaper and closer since we have a major 
drag strip in Las Vegas.
