Hey These Team Arrow guys are actually LOTS faster then their new record
implies... they ran 228 in the middle mile and crashed due to a tire
failure in the 5 on that last run... the record ended up being an average of
that mile and they didn't even qualify in that one... so give them some time
and a new tire... they could be SMOKING some records for real.
