Re: Red McMillion speed run

Back around 1980 my family and I rode behind the Hillcrest Climax at Mt. Ranier. The engine's owner was riding in the same car, and he started getting very concerned as we cruised along the flat tangent before the hill . . . I will swear we were doing 30 mph at least ! Owner kept looking out window looking for parts. It was quite a ride! !
