In any case, big CONGRATS on this achievement, good luck on breaking 200 next year! Superb!

Was the 221 on the 5 mile or 3 mile course? Granted traction is an issue at Bonneville but doing it from a standing start in a mile is a lot tougher than having several miles and a hard top to boot. 199 in original configuration is a great big achievement and should be recognized as such. I think Dick had a full width short windscreen that they built for racing not a stock windshield which would blow off the way they are mounted.
