What track in the UK could you ever have cracked 200 at in those days?

Must have done that somewhere Rich.

You have probably spent more on your car than him though.

I'm not knocking what Andy Rouse says -by god he'll know.

Just wondered if people had said they did 200, it can't have been during racing conditions!

Did the Dick Johnson cars manage 200mph down Conrod then? What were the Richards' Skylines doing on the same bit out of interest?
