It had to be fifteen + years ago out at Taft CA.  Joe was flying with Don
Vickers crewing.  I was flying Gentle Ladies at the time and was just there
observing.  I was drafted by a team to time and went for it.  We passed a
few 'short flight landings' and were passed by a few teams.  The most
memorable moment for me was looking through the pick-up's rear window and
seeing the needle cross 80mph.  The pilot was smacking the cab yelling
"faster, faster".  I looked back at the plane as it easily passed us.
If you can get the support team I think this is pure soaring.
Thanks,
Dave
