Tom revving the dickens out of the motor trying to
get into lower gear to stop it. Darn near locked
'em up trying to stop. Stopped about a quarter
mile from the zero. LOTS OF EXCITEMENT!

then made the decision to stick a fire extinguisher
into the air scoop, squeeze the trigger,
and that stopped the engines.
Going to make a try at the 1 hour turn around.

The UNofficial mile record speed for the Speed Demon has been reported as 345.522 mph. It's unofficial until certified by the FIA folks, and the number probably won't change -- but untio the certify it -- Ihave to use to "unofficial" word.
