Blind Drag Racer I scribbled ‘bout here on No Fenders awhile ago. As Dan Parker’s
finally set a new Guiness World Record for Blind Speed Merchants at an
incredible speed a skosh North of 211mph!

Like I said, I wrote about Dan here on No
Fenders Wayback in 2020, having originally Heard about Him via my NFB Newsline
for The Blind telephone service’s Car and Driver magazine section.
