So, outside of what parts to buy and which engine builder to use, what big thing have you been right about?
1] You lack the ability to answer a direct question from myself and others as it relates to LAND SPEED RACING. You won’t even respond to the most simplistic question that merely requires a yes or no answer.
2] You lack the ability to discuss LAND SPEED RACING topics in their own right if you can not refer to something that someone else did at some other time (usually too many years ago) that was done in some other venue that can't be related to LAND SPEED RACING.
3] Some of what you post MIGHT be able to be related to LAND SPEED RACING but because you rely solely on what other people have done in a given situation you lack the ability to brainstorm the practical use of what ever you are preaching as it possibly could be used for LAND SPEED RACING.
4] You lack the ability to stay on topic (LAND SPEED RACING) in EVERY post.
5] Because of your incessant drivel many experienced, valued current LAND SPEED racers and/or crew have left this board or now refuse to post. Consequently your self imposed importance to LAND SPEED RACING has cost many of us valued information and help in the forum of our preference.
6] You adamantly REFUSE to "play by the rules" on this board and in regards to LAND SPEED RACING. You don't want to race under the current sanctioned rules and in fact the only vehicle that I have knowledge of you building in the recent past is a vehicle that CAN NOT be run under the sanctioning bodies of most of the LAND SPEED RACING venues.
7] As of 9:48am EST 7/25/08 21 current members have you on ignore.
8] You don't have a flipping clue who I am, what I've done, what I’ve contributed, what I've accomplished or for that matter who my engine builder is!
9] You STILL have not answered my direct and repeated question to you on if and how a parachute can help a motorcyclist if they were to suffer a low side crash while LAND SPEED RACING without the parachute causing further damage then if it were not worn.
There is so much more I could go on for days and days and days but I have ZERO interest in marketing myself to you.
I'm really not sure if you've contributed anything positive to this board but even if you HAVE the fact that you're clobbering it up with gibberish, unrelated, non-applicable, off topic posts negates to me and many others anything positive you might possibly have contributed.
If you haven't been to the salt flats in years and you seem to have no intention of going in the future then why would you continue to liter our boards with you diatribe? Create your own message board or web site in tribute to the all mighty all knowing Franklin Ratliff and let your fans and followers come to you! In fact I think a web site is the best fit for you because you can continue your all knowing dictatorship on your vast array of topics without the need for response from others or defense of your posting. I promise I will not follow YOU and litter YOUR board.
And now I will sit and wait for my answer to #9.

10] You will not appropriately respond to this post and will most likely correct my grammar, spelling or opinion rather then deal with the topic at hand.
