Groundspeed 234.7kts
Notes

Returning from FRG to ASH my groundspeed at 5500' was 63Kts.  It seemed like a good chance to replace the current Tiger speed record, so I climbed to 7500' and turned to get the minimum groundspeed.  I then did a 180 and dove in the yellow arc to obtain a GS of 234Kts.  Thus I eliminated our NE AYA director from the third place slot, and bumped my buddy Rex to number 3!  Sorry, Dan.
