A while back I managed to get my little 150hp RV-8 into the 200Kts Club with a ground speed of 208Kts. I kind of forgot about it until the other day when I was looking for a photo of Stormy's Hop Along airfield.

That's when I found this little gem ...

Default Just barely made it
Winds weren't any faster up here at 10k than they were down at 8, but I couldn't know that without trying

I've been 200+ a few times, as high as 215 knots ground speed. I had 70 knot headwinds one time, and was tempted to both turn around for a bit to get 240 GS, and then slow to < 70 TAS to get 0 or negative, but the thought of having to cover the same ground twice at 100 knots was so painful I opted not to do it!

Didn't know this was a thing! I squeaked it over the line a few weeks ago on the way to Spokane :
