It has been brought to our attention by several outside parties that our tag line "the future of land speed" is considered by many to be highly offensive, arrogant, and belittling to the long and storied history of LSR around the nation. It has conveyed to me that the 60 year history of Bonneville, Muroc, El Mirage, ECTA are all a thing of the past and all of the literally hundreds of thousands of hour of nurturing and developing the LSR community (the best bunch of people I have ever met) has been cast asunder and that our brash statement is an affront to countless LSR racers. (I had a long time racer tell me he won't buy a 2-club shirt because the tag line is on it.)
The best response I can give to all of you is that it is a tag line is as my salesman says, "sell the sizzle, not the steak."
We are therefore asking for your input on the matter. Logical input please. Not a Pi$$ing contest.
Here are some of my ideas:
LTA - Wide and Flat just like Tim Kelly's A$$
LTA - Speedtown USA
LTA-Go like Stink
LTA-Got Land Speed?
LTA- We apologize for being so fast.
LTA- Speed and Moose live here.
LTA-Don't worry,be happy - You'll got faster (or blow up trying)
LTA- The best piece of
A$$-palt I ever had.
Now I realize that some of these are a bit tongue and cheek, but we are here for you, and we want you happy.
You input and ideas are greatly appreciated.
All the best.
