Glen alerted me to a couple of remarks from the Propster today on this subject.
As many of you know this person is unable to post to many internet boards. A long and evolved story that had a successful outcome.
First he attacked me on the members of the club that were singled out for inclusion into the newly formed 400 MPH Chapter. He pointed out an omission of Ms Kitty O'Neil and her record, I don't know if it was FIA certified, of 500+ MPH set at Alford Dry Lake.
I had to point out to him that the criteria was that the person honored must first of all be a member of the club. Ms. O'Neil is not. There have been racers awarded an Honorary Membership by other boards in the past. Franklin should take up the issue of the record with the sitting board at the time of the accomplishment.
Second, he stated that Art Arfons should have been recognized as a member of the 300 MPH Chapter before the formation of the 400 MPH Chapter. I pointed out to him that Art has always been the first name listed. He is stuck in the past, I don't think he reads anything beyond his beloved 1974 rulebook and therefore is out of the loop, so to speak.
Because I am no longer on his email list and have him blocked I did not receive these attacks on me and the club. I ask in the future that he bring to the public any problems that he has with me and the club.
Oh, that's right - he can't!
