Does any one know if another car has driven as far as the 553 Roadster did 
this year to set a record over 200?  They drove from Pomona, California, To the 
salt, which MapQuests out to 606 miles minus a forty mile stealth trailer trip 
to avoid an ever vigilant Nevada Highway Cruiser in Alamo, NV.  The Gail 
Banks truck was rumored to have accomplished this feat, but other sources say 
they 
only drove from Wendover.  I remember a dark colored 53 Stude that did over 
200 with the air on, but don't know if they set a record and also drove it to 
the great white dyno.
