Do you think we'll ever see the Tank at one of the meets? Or does it have
the "Right Stuff"? What I like the most was the vintage Speedweek t-shirts
they wore during the build. For the record, I believe the class (if it were
a sanctioned event) was B/BGL?(stroked 350) Held by GRUMPY OLD MEN driven by
J. LAW @334.219MPH in 2000. Jesse was well short of getting any kind of hat.
Maybe he was running FIA?

The only way he will get a 200 mph cap or shirt is under the sanction of
SCTA / USFRA at one of their meets. Under any other condition it's
meaningless. Ya got to break a record in the class and back it up.
