ohhh,  reminds me, somewhere in rooting around my stuff, I remember that I still 
have some timing tickets from the trip or 2 I too down the 1/4 Mile at 
Indianapolis Raceway Park (home of the US Nationals) when I used my 300-C for a 
tow car for the race cars.  I'll relocate them and report the numbers.

Psst, Don't ask GR or DC about their 'grudge' match racing, I think they came 
loaded for bear and rip snorted down the track!
