absolutely, GREAT JOB Williams Team!!!!
ps JD, who wants to make minimums for EVERY one
of the 1800 plus motorcycle classes???
as the 2 club book states "all unlisted classes have a
200 mph minimum and are subject to board approval"
I think thats good enough, doesnt mean they dont expect it, as noted by
two 500 cc streamliner records in 1950's over 210mph, 1960's 650 cc
steamliner record over 230 mph
Again SUPER job Williams, and lets NOT FORGET those who went WAY fast, WAY
before us
Joe :)

> Sometimes we overlook the really great accomplisments by only seeing the
highest speeds. Since the 200 mph club had left, Mike Cook and I had the
pleasure of welcoming Gary into to the 2 Club at over 210. Gary entered the
club using an unsupercharged engine on gasoline (parts wash) and 650cc's.
The 2 club had no minimum, except the basic 200, probably because they
thought it couldn't happen and the accomplisment of it was good enough or
never going to happen. I know that feeling very well, having no minimum when
we went 216 last year using a brick to drive and an obsolete dump truck
engine. The Williams team deserves recognition and many atta boys...J.D.
