Keith;
Yes, Team Arrow did a great job of breaking NSU's long- standing record.
Thank God Gary came out of it OK.

Hey These Team Arrow guys are actually LOTS faster then their new record
implies... they ran 228 in the middle mile and crashed due to a tire
failure in the 5 on that last run... the record ended up being an
average of
that mile and they didn't even qualify in that one... so give them some
time
and a new tire... they could be SMOKING some records for real.
