Boy, I sure don't get this Dr. After looking at all the current records in "C" they look pretty good to me. The only "open" C records are in the new Rear Engine Modified Roadster class. BFRMR @ 275, FRMR @ 265, BGRMR @ 250, & GRMR @ 240. The other open records in "C" are ps @ 240, BFMS @ 260, BGMS @ 240, Classic PS @ 220. Looks like the 2 Club Board did a fair job (even if I don't think we should have added rear engine modifieds, we have enough classes!!).
So what does todays board have to do with Greg getting in back in '78?
What am I missing? 
you may not know me but at least i sign my name.
hi michael:
i?ve never had the opportunity to meet you.
let me address your issues in order:
the record i was referring to was in 1991. since i lived 3000 miles from the action i can?t remember all the details (speeds, etc.) i think it was a street roadster class. larry volk would certainly be able to tell you what class it was and what the minimum was set at and his son?s (sorry, don?t know him or his name) speed in the class, which gained him entry into the 200 mph club.
i do remember that the minimum speed the board set the minimum at for the ?a? class was about 20 or 30 mph slower than the ?c? class record.
doesn?t this sound fishy to you?
i may be wrong about this, but i believe my brother?s lsa record (i do know him and his name is mark) still stands some 15 years after he set it.
i?m sure the volk record is long gone since running the speed a ?c? motor ran should be no problem for an ?a? engine.
what are you missing?
the point!
i know for a fact the redhead streamliner has pissed of a lot of people over the years.
well, that?s too bad for them!
it?s a very cool car and has been very fast! it seems to me, it was one of only 3 scta bonneville records (mickey t; summers bros; the redhead) in the books that stood at over 300 mph for many, many years.
a lot of us got in the club driving that car.
it seems there were several board members who didn?t really car for that. i know for a fact that many of them don?t like my father (his name is elmo) and our partner, jim lattin.
being away from the salt for so long made it easy for me to slip into conversations with people who, either didn?t know me or didn?t recognize me, where i heard comments like ?the goddamned redhead!?
i?m sorry if it was an easy ticket into the club.
that?s no reason to ignore mark?s record and any other record!
i don?t hear comments like that about the nish ?liner.
this has nothing to do with my record or entry into the club.
this has to do with my brother and a handful of other driver?s (i may know some of them, but don?t know all of their names) who?s records have been ignored.
in regards to my name, i deal online with people all over the world who recognize my screen name an icon for whom i am. sorry, i guess i?m used to everyone knowing who the dr. of rockology really is.
if i signed the name most people know me by it would confuse you even more. but for the purposes of confusing everyone even more, i?ll be changing my signature.
