It's all good as long as wrong statements are not made to support a comment...
I'll be there as well... and I can testify that going 200 is hard, much less 220... I'm aiming a little higher... I've broken the last two runs...
Here's another little known tidbit, Last March, Sunday morning made some absolute glory runs.... Weather conditions have never been better...
It blew in a big cold front that morning about 5:00, winds were 20-30 gusting to 40 straight down track... and the track surface was still warm... So, good winds, pretty good traction, and cold pretty dry air...
I know several people that made 5-10 mph runs faster than they ever had... Due to the weather.... And yes, I did meet and talk with Sam for a bit... I've also seen him struggle getting one of the cars he built down the track... It happens to all builders....
