Thanks for the photos and write-up (Miles Cook) in the April 2008 issue covering the Silver State Challenge Classic.  Now that we're not first timers anymore, we're looking to run faster next time!  It's capable of 150MPH (on paper), and that's the goal for the future after we've tried the 115, 125, and 135 MPH classes.
