Good article except when you get to Rider profile of Chad Millholland

They stated

Became the first Father (Dan)/son (Chad)/son (Zack) team to set records at over 200 MPH at any Land Speed Racing Event

That is so wrong.

Quick thinking thinks Bryant family, Nish Family, Volk Family, Cook Family, Strasburg Family (??), Rochlitzer Family, McKinney Family (??), Kugel Family, Lindsley Family (??) have all done this some time ago. There may be a few more also...

And you want to take it a step further some span generations.... Father/Son/Grandsons etc etc .

You might be correct Keith, But that is not what the article implies.

Hey Jon,
Excuse my ignorance but I'm sorta new to LSR and the names you stated are unfamilar with me....sorry.
I have no idea if they are car or bike people but the Brock article is about a ZX14 and I'm thinking the writer may have been repeating what was once mentioned by Scott Guthrie when he said we were the first father & sons to becomes 200 Club members on motorcycles.
I have no idea if it's true or not but coming from Guthrie it was probably taken as gospel.
If it's true I'm honored and proud, if it's not I apologize.
No harm intended, that's for sure.

Isn't that part of the beauty of this forum, no error goes unheralded,

It was a great article either way... I enjoyed the read...

With different places for running LSR now, vs 10 years ago I think they (articles) should always note which event instead of LSR in general.

I am by far not the best writer, I have gotten alot of flack for it this past year. Sometimes my fingers go faster then I can think at the keyboard, that leads to typos, and jargon that sometimes doesnt make sense. Or writing that has the wrong intention and not very good at getting the point across...

Im working on that as well.... (spellcheck and proof read before I hit the send button.)
