I saw this coupe at speed week Aug. 18th. A beautiful car well built and highly modified. It’s great they made the 200 mph club. That is quite an achievement. The old record from 8/07 was C/BFMS 179.364. The salt this year was fantastic. Our driver said it was like concrete. There were 3 courses in operation this year. One long and 2 short courses. Made for more runs and less waiting in line. A very well run event this year.
