[Spridgets] calculating speed

[Andrew Payne]

Tractors?

By the way, aside from the VIN plates, what original parts remain in a two
hundred mile an hour Midget.

Or was it KPH?

Tractors were never meant to be driven fast.  You can't plow a good
field at 50+ MPH.  My '72 Midget has been clocked at well over 200 on
the straight at PIR.  Had I known I was as close to a class record as I
was, I would have pushed her a bit further over red line.
