I just landed in Minneapolis after flying up from south east of Atlanta. I
was racing up the front side of a front that extended from Dallas TX north
to the Canadian border. I really benefited by the great tail winds. At
times I had 55 KT winds quartering on my tail. I was at 8000' at WOT and
2400 RPM and doing 168 KTS TAS. My ground speed at times was 210 KTS. Most
of the time I was doing 185 to 190KTS ground speed. Total flying time 5
hours not counting the fuel stop at BMG.
What a way to go.

No kidding!!! Had a trip
Your way that was non-stop to Atlanta for about the same
distance....and one to leesburg FL that was 6 hrs flat. Amazing way
to travel.

It went through here pretty mild. It is mandatory to have WX though to get
that close to them.
