- So, just the thing to have when the wind picks up at B'ville, shutting down combustion-powered runs? I wonder how long it takes to get up to speed, and what the wind speed was when it set the record.

- I have no idea who timed it. I would have liked to have seen it cause you couldn't hear it coming. It's a nice piece of engineering and build. I suppose we will never hear the end of it from ratliff
