128.34 is the speed on the trophy remnants of one of my father and his partner's El Mirage racer. I have a half dozen brass engraved timing tags around here somewhere, but I'll be dipped if I can find them.

The video won't play for me, but that's ok I'm sure it's a cool watch. That stuff brings back memories as one of our uncles was a well-known fabricator that, while he was mostly known for his work with Indy cars, he also worked on some builds that appeared down there and at Bonneville over the years.

El Mirage memorabilia previous to my father's adventures in the Korean Conflict.
Those blasted timing tags are still AWOL
