Jeff, thanks for the detail. I'm kind of hazy on why the Champ car guys would be claiming the speed record when the Aerotech had it beaten by a bunch of mph. I was not under the impression that there were any classes, just "run what you brung", if you know what I mean. Maybe the Champ car record is the "world closed-course speed record" for open-wheelers. Hell, who knows.

Crank, I wasn't equating the closed-course stuff to the 198 figure. They are two different animals, as one is a maximum mph number and the other an average. I was just throwing in what (little) I know about the closed-course record, in response to somebody's inquiry earlier in this thread.
