Keith,
Jerry Kugel ran in the mid-forties with a twin-turboed "E" motor in a
high boy roadster back in the 70's. As you know, his Firebird ran over
300 MPH with a twin-turboed "C" motor this year. Don't get discouraged
by the record, you have a shot at it. As John said, none of the
Bonneville records are easy.
