Nothing to do with pe...

Re: 200 MPH Achievers

"And must exceed the minimum" is because alot of classes have a minimum set at over 200 so your record--2 runs-- must be over 200MPH and the Minimum to get that red hat.When we ran the 750 and got ours I was running on a 192MPH record and the minimum was 210! First 2 passes netted 209! Nee...

John Noonan was a big help, coaching me on the how-to's of El Mirage, not to mention getting me a way better starting number. Went from 205 to 19.
