WOW! I am not a bike guy in any way shape or form, but this is crazy to me. As long as I have known about land speed racing, or Bonneville, I was under the assumption that you went there to do one thing. Prove to yourself the vehicle that you designed and built was fast. To prove your ideas in a real world situation. I'd bet a few bucks that's how Mr. Munro got there. There was many men and women a lot less well known before and after him chasing the same things. I'm building a car right now. Do I hope it's fast? Hell yes! Will it be? I don't know. It's just something that I want to do. Prove to myself that I can do it. If I get a record along the way then great. I understand everybody would like to hold a record, I sure would. The problem is we can't all have a record. There has to be a second place. it's just how the world works. I just hope we don't start to lose sight of why we started doing this. In my case, for the plain and simple fact that I want to go fast!
