bonneville salt flats ssr?

An SSR was entered in August 2011 in the Bonneville Nationals Speed Trials on the salt flats in Utah. The entry was controversial in that they intended to run in the mini modified pickup class. Illegal modification had been made to the front valance on the truck and they were only allowed to run for time only. Nonetheless the truck proved uncompetitive against a much more aerodynamic GMC Sonoma that took the record in the C/MMP class and set it at 219.3mph, a full 26mph faster then the SSR could run.

Is this one of the Fanatics (Land Speed) that ask a lot of questions last year about top speed of an SSR?
