this seems to be getting ludicrous...
these kids have met with the Burts son, discussed project with him and how
to best memorialize Burt with their effort.....they named their liner with Burts name
and record speed so "if" they were to get it, it keeps Burts name in the books, and they
additionally hope others coming after might do same to honor him
I have a hunch that the pushback from LSR family about the bragging about breaking Burts
record has had a significant impact on the team and how they go about this endeavor, hence the
recent name change etc....
not sure why someone else thinks their manner of paying tribute is better, the willingness to
pay tribute by any party is pretty darn honorable
fact is the record will be challenged as all should, many previously mentioned manners of carrying on
the history of Burts legacy with various trophies etal are more sustainable
now if we could start a US vs UK first to the 1000 SF record, that could be intriquing....
who wants to be the "first to earn the Burt Munro trophy" ..?
