Yep--just bench racing/nobody attacking anyone...

Let's put our thinking caps on kids. This fairy tale 198 was performed while using the infield road course. That means that the car had to accelerate from about 30-40 mph, up onto the stock car part of the track, and hit 198 in what 3/4,maybe 1 full mile. With 1965 tires, no aero, holding on for dear life. In the ensuing 30 plus years , no one has ever broken that record, not even at Bonneville.Living in a dream world, shattered by reality.
