This is nuts! It's actual pictures of peoples speedometers at speeds
you wont believe. And in the picture of the guy doing 220 MPH, the tach
is clearly well into the red zone. A lot of these pictures are of cars
you normally wouldn't expect to see going this fast. Weird. ["dave" &
"sheet draws" would LOVE this stuff :o) ]

My last trip down the quarter mile was 10.04 @ 135.1, so I guess I do:)

Look closer, can only tell on part of those cars, not all of them, but most
of those speedos are rated in kph..... thus the 300 listing. That translates
to 180 mph......

The kph speeds have been converted to mph so I do not see a
problem with what is being shown.

SOME of them have been converted, some have not. Multiply the clock speed
by .6.

Missed the original(probably due to an attachment or something) but as I
recall there is only one street car that has ever gone 254 mph.
