Thank you, Dennis.
For those who are not acquainted with the SARL rules, ¡°Red¡± in the class means no larger than a 320 cu in engine; ¡°Blue¡± means no larger than 360 cu engine in the class.
At that time, the class record for RV Red was 203 mph. quite a difference between a Tailwind and an RV with similar engines in terms of speed.
