  The wife and I just rolled into the driveway.

The Sunbeam is now, I consider, no longer a wannabe.  On Thursday I 
pulled off a 204.9xx last timed mile and managed to run through the exit 
trap at 210.7x mph.  Driving one handed on teh last mile at speed..cause 
the other one was firmly attached to teh chute release, lol....

I'll send out more info tomorrow after I quit riding... Been in the 
truck since 9 am this morning and am pooped.

Met a coup0le of really nice guys, one first timer and the second a list 
member. The first was Funbeam Chuck aka Chuck Colley. He was in Pahrump 
came to see the car before we left and then went to WOS to be with us. 
Helped immensely!  The other was Bob Hokanson. He had been to the shop 
once before, but was in Salt Lake City and came over and checked things 
out and even helped us put it all back into the trailer on Friday.  
Wonderful men!


more later!!

oh, didn't hurt the motor either.

mayf
worlds fastest suneam, 204.9.xx and 210.7xx exit speed
