Hey Keith the same car bumped the D/PRO record to 275 MPH...kind of writing
on the wall. So how about a top chop with a belly pan and running D/BGCC.
That one is only 243 MPH.
The SCTA web site has records, but you have to pick them out from the
different events. Tom Bryant has the Two Club Minimums.
