I sent a note to windtunnel on speed with the pic from this thread.  WSe'll see if they read their mail or care about this great moment in LSR.

I'm glad the wind held off long enough for you to get this Bill.  I had to leave Saturday evening and just *knew* this would happen on Sunday (dang!)

Very happy for you and the team!  Wish I could have stayed!
