Without trying to be melancholy, what I will never forget is my 219 pass at 7200' density altitude with the early Old's motor.
When I built the motor I knew I Had to run against new motor's, so I had nothing to gain or prove except how fast it might go.
The only drawback was fighting bearing problem's for eight year's.
Knowing how much work we put into that motor it gave me more gratification than any record might produce.
Having finally solved the bearing problem, I hope to run it again in 2013 and tip the can....... Bob
