Keith, great job again.  Please get someone to post more specifics, cant wait
to hear the details.  Any specifics on the bike runs, heard Chip Ellis went
203.6mph, what was the air temp, humidity, and what was the deal with the wind
on that run, heard 5-10 headwind, and also heard he ran during a lull in the
wind.   Dick J, cant wait to hear.  Keith 225 hp jets, cool, how did the motor
fair???  Did Dahlgren assist??    What did Scott Guthrie run as far as bikes
and speed???  Any info appreciated.     Joe  :) :)
