Congrats to Eddie Powell for the first 200 MPH sidecar run at Maxton!!! After a few 199 passes I knew he would soon be there.

Good Job Eddie!!!

Eddie Powell ... made a couple of 199.9xx runs and was never diswayed from his goal. We talked on Saturday night and he said that he would do it in the morning ... Congratulations ... Joe

Fantastic job Eddie.  It worked out well.  You had a 199 party Saturday night and I'm sure the 200 celebration is still going on.  You are proof that hard work pays off.  Well deserved.

Some people might be disappointed at going 199.975 and being that close to the big 2, but being a champion is celebrating every step, and you are a true champ. Pretty good for a 63 yr old man?
