Fred Douglass Hi Fred I talked to Dick. He was timed or clocked when the record was made. Ford was timing too and had him at 200 mph unioffically. He had on a mini shield and high speed tires. 25.5 front and 27.5 rears ( skinny salt flat speed) from Goodyear. The car had a 3.31 gear in the rear. The car was trying to lift off. Tonneau cover was over the right side seat. The car was nose heavy with an all iron SO427. He put the pedal on the floor and prayed, the rest is history. there was no other mods done to the car. As you see it today was how it ran minus the windshield and tires. The motor has been rebuilt. Rick Lake
