When it comes to setting goals... I've been pretty brain dead...
In the beginning I wanted to get in all four 200 MPH clubs in one year... Maxton, El Mirage, Bonneville, and Muroc. To get in a 200mph club you have to set a record over 200 above a minimum standard if no record exsists....
I about killed myself trying to do this... and accomplished two of them... Maxton and Muroc... which was the last year they ran at Muroc in 2000, Ed VanScoy was there with us and has been a pal of mine for many years... So fast forward to 2003 and I get lucky... and finally get in the 200 club at Bonneville... and for 04 we decided to Team up with David and the Hot Rod SPl Camaro was brought out of retirement... and we took it first to the TEXAS MILE... a New Venue... and all of us got the the 200 club there....
Hmmm so basically I'm in 4 two clubs... at this point... Maxton , Muroc, Bonneville and Texas... leaving only the dirty two club at EL Mirage... We went out there really just to test the car and run it a bit.... Ed VanScoy signed on as my paperwork guy... and crew ... Freiburger shows up fashionably late with his broken wrist... Mayf sticks me in the car with Ed's help... and I made that one pass.... 213mph on a 200mph record... and officially became the first person in 5 200mph clubs... Since Muroc is closed for now... we only have 4 here in the states.
Today the only other venue that has a 200mph club is the Dry Lakes Racers of Australia.... so to get in 5 two clubs you have to go down under.... we shipped the car there so David and Tonya would have that opportunity one day... and got our butts rained out... long ugly story.. but there you go...
So... anyway... that's what the 200 clue ace thing is about...
I'd love to continue this thread and talk about Your goals...
