Mood: Get in my buggy!

Faster than a speeding bullet!
Moving way too fast to toot her own horn, I thought folks here on PKF would like to know that UtahTami recently set the woman's buggy speed record on
Lake Ivanpah the day before IBX, ripping out a run at an amazing 58.8 mph.
There is a great write up about this outstanding accomplishment on Popeye's website:

2.7 vapor and big wind. Sounds like exciting stuff. Too exciting for me but sounds like Tami had no problem facing the challenge. Nice work!
