It is not the same accomplishment to buy a record.
You can't say this.
The JCB team worked very hard to get this record.
The team with the cummins engine need some years, too, to get the engine right to get a proper return run which gave him the record.
We amateurs have the advantage that they can work with a "bucket" of expierence - means hundreds of other racer where they can get informations. During the meet I talked to Ron Ayers about some
"specials" of the salt - he was very surprised when he heard this information. They had no idea, how different is it at the salt to good old England - something like air pressure, density, humidy.....
What we saw at the salt was a over engineered vehicle, extremely complex, which it makes the JCB team not easier to get the record.
But it was a typical British record racer, always big, solid build, with the latest gadget of technology - this is may be the different to us amateurs.
But therefore we can't bother the JCB team, they try it and at last they set a record - honestly, I hope this was not the last answer of the Brits,
I thought they can go faster, may be during the next day the show a better potential of the car.
