And the ever-so-fast and famous Milwaukee Midget. Chris said his last pass was at dang near 92 MPH -- about 4 times faster than his pass at Bonneville. I wish I go go four times faster. . .

Ours truly - one last photo of Nancy and me at Maxton. For what it's worth, I did get in one run, Saturday, with the big winds blowing ("Run only if you want to", said Keith to those of us at the line, "and only if you'll run under 200". I obligingly made a 185.74 mph pass. And had a ball, one last time on the old track.

That's all for this evening, folks. Bedtime. See you tomorrow -- and thanks for all of the fun at Maxton. We had a ball. By the way, we've got a few of the Maxton dash plaques remaining. If you'd like one -- I'll make you a deal. Ready? We were selling them for $10 each at the track, and since there are some remaining -- drop a note or a PM to me and we'll supply them to you for the $10 -- including postage. If you'd like some personal information on yours - and want a bigger plaque (standard is about 2 1/2 x 4) -- We'll send them to you for $15 each and include postage. Drop a note and send an address, too, if you please.
G'night.
