Josh.... to get in any of the 200mph clubs....  there are four of them...
you must Set a record over 200mph.... That means that you have to meet the
rules of that organization..... the SCTA requires Two runs at Bonneville....
the first where you qualify to break the record in a measured mile and the
second when you back up that record.  Then they give you this little red hat
and some silly T-shirt all these guys that have them wear.... Don't know
what's up with that... but they seem to be proud of them....   At El Mirage
and Muroc.... as well as Maxton NC all you have to do is beat the current
record on a single pass.... over Two hundred....  easy enough to do.... just
ask my pal Will Handzel....

It's a great place to race with wonderful folks all around you... each and
every one of us will help in our own way.... we aren't fancy here on this
list....we don't critique spelling.... just content.... it's kinda a semi
wholesome family atmosphere ....( less your Glen Barret... then everyone
picks on you )

.... don't forget to delete that silly trailer if you simply reply to your
e-mail

Welcome to the list.....
