I met an interesting young man, at a funeral home, last night. He is a Ford engineer and was part of the team that just raced that fuel cell car at Bonneville and broke 200 mph. He only gives Speedweek a few more years, due to the aging participants. He said young people just arn't interested in this event. It doesn't sound like this young team of Ford, Roush and Ohio State people was well received by the old time racers. He didn't see any Studes. I just had to ask. Oh, their driver was a Ford retiree that has driven 200 milers before. During Speedweek, the Detroit Free Press did a feature story on a cxouple local motorcycle racers. Alas they were around 70 years old. Oh, if you haven't seen the movie, The Worlds Fastest Indian, you must. It's about an old timer racing an Indian Motorcycle on the salt. It is delightful and a true story. Huck, in Dearborn
