No, that particular Sunday I did not have the 88B. Of ALL the 8 & 9's she was
the fastest one I've run. I'm somewhat reluctant to share all of the intimate
details of a "normal" trip with the 88B and 2 cars Westbound leaving Napetown
and passing undr the J bridge at Eola.
Overspeeds were set to cause problems around 92 MPH.

I will guarantee the ability of five E8/9's in maximum field with two cars
was never questioned.

With the lead being 9988B? Right Karl?
