Ed's right, it either has to have full canvas, or full (as in manned) troop
racks (with field packs).
Else we would all be pulling off the tops and folding back the windscreen to
45' to keep em on the ground at high speed.

You have to make three speed runs through a measured mile, all within one
hour and average the MPH that you achieved through the measured mile to
register a World Land Speed Record for the Diesel Powered M35. Was it
turbo assisted, and have a winch and full canvas?
