Assuming that you are referring to bettering the new record that she set, I will say 3) 165.37 as the answer that you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Have to disagree with you Gary....I'm looking at a period poster showing a front view of the record setting Avanti at Bonneville with Paula standing beside it, and the text mentions one of the above (1--4) figures as the record speed......and answer #3 is not it! Anyone else want to take a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
