Virgil, that's a great tribute to an awesome accomplishment, best wishes on 200+ next year.

And another thing, I don't think this takes away from Dick Smith's accomplishment or the Boneville run...they're very separate accomplishments. Dick Smith still holds the record for a Cobra on a closed circuit. The 221 mph at Bonneville was (best we know) a flying mile record for Cobras. Virgil did his in a standing start mile run, helluvan accomplishment in my mind!
