I feel the need, the need for speed

This morning I noticed the winds aloft were really screaming.  I took advantage of this to set a new personal ground speed record for my plane.  I climbed to 13,500 feet just West of Jacksonville and then began a gentle descent heading downwind.

The indicated airspeed was 154 knots, the True Airspeed was 191 knots and the Ground speed was 264 knots.  This is 303.6 mph.
