Found these two video links on the SDC Forum. I had not seen them in quite some time. Ron Hall drove his Studebaker Avanti to slightly over 200 mph. As far as I know the only Studebaker powered Studebaker to break the 200 mph barrier. Jim passed away a little over two years after this 1993 200 mph run. He was a great guy and competed fairly regularly at Bonneville.
In the first video the car goes 196 mph but was a real handful. In the second video Ron beats the 200 mph mark.
