Re: Fastest in the west

The book MG by McComb, 2nd ed, shows both.  Stirling did the 1957
run with car equipped with a tail stabilizer. Phil Hill's 1959
record ran the car without the tail. I believe that Phil Hill did
the preruns for 1957 and had broken the old records, but as the
PR was set up for Sterling, STirling drove 181 again to set the
official records. That's why Hill drove in '59.
