I was there in 1980. At the time there were minimums at Bonneville 235 for D/GS
the 3rd year of gas streamliners...I believe the engine was from their Boss 302
Mustang. Rick set the record at 237+...Should have been a trivia question. In
1985 Rick set the record in "C" @ 295+ In 76/77 they may have done something
else in D/FS I'll check the results for those 2 years tomorrow and get
back..J.D.
