I have a question. What are the ECTA requirements to get in the 200MPH club. Is
it the same as SCTA where one has to exceed the existing record or simply run
over two hundred. The have different meanings to those that earn their hat by
doing better. Just wondering.

Hope all went well for all at the season final. Ours is still a couple weeks
off Keith if Miss Kathy will let you come play in the dirt. Have a great day.
