Thanks for posting the link.  Bill's a great guy and, obviously, one hell of a racer.  What does the future hold??!!  I'll bet Shane and Scott are not likely to just sit back and say "Oh well"!

Great story and congrats to Bill and his crew.. :cheers:

They need to correct the facts however, Bills 272 is a record and the other was just a top speed.

Bill I am sure is about done with the repair job on the Mighty machine and will be ready to hopefully lay down a greater number at the next meeting.

Shane has come so far quickly and will need a perfect run at Maxton to beat the 272 speed of Bill.

What can they run during a meet at Loring with the extra 1/2 mile.. :-o

Good luck guys and check them brakes!!   :cheers:

Thanks everyone.
 Just for fun... Google    bill warner 272 
You may be able to find the origanal release, sometimes it gets changed by differant posters and facts get rearranged.

That is incredible.  I'll bet that the runway looks awful narrow at 270 mph.
