Years ago he and I talked on the phone many times, I miss him.

This 235.756 MPH.Land speed record is fully accredited by the F.I.A.and still stamds after 32 years have past..Quite a feat for a small group of students.
At one point the vehicle reached a speed of 267 MPH. The team of
young students had constructed the first diesel powered vehicle to exceed 200 MPH.one more world first..
