"How do you make an 0-200 go 241 miles per
hour?"
I'm
just guessing here, but I suspect it was done much the same way
as Formula One at Reno; short prop and high RPM. I believe they
run their O-200s at something over 4000 RPMs. In 1999 Jon Sharp qualified
at 263.118 mph on a 3.11 mile closed course. I'm sure Klaus' plane is
heavier with more wing area than a Formula One, but he wasn't turning left all
the time either.
