Frank Currie drove his roadster from Anaheim to the salt, got a timing slip 
of 205 or so THEN drove it to Plesanton for a street rod event. By the way he 
installed the roll cage at the salt, spun the car a couple of time at 195 or so 
then put Duane McKinney in the car for the time slip of 200+. The year? 
around '93? Dan, Glenn, anyone?
