Ben Bragg got the Old Grey Mare down to a 1'08" last fall, I believe. the OGM
is a ford flathead powered special that is - to put it mildly - technologically
pretty agricultural but Ben is a superb driver. There are prewar GP cars that
should be two seconds or more faster. Peter Giddings has certainly been well
under 1'10" in the Maserati.
Kind regards,
