Mr. Ratliff, may I suggest that you are one of the close-minded forum registrants -- to deny others their opinion, while offering your to one and all? For instance -- what is the purpose of this thread other than to show that you've got a copy of the old rulebook and that the rules have changed over the years? I don't think anyone denies it. See my "pointles" post of a few hours ago - and think about what you've since posted that would show one and all that you're interested in promoting the health of the forum by giving us good information and sound debate.
As for counting the number of registered forum members that have chosen to "ignore" you -- perhaps you should take heed from that number and attempt to make your work more on-point to land speed racing instead of being rude to those who choose to ignore you.
In other words -- you're courting the big byebye. Don't make me do this.
Like I said, I ignore the fact there's even an ignore button. Anything anybody wants to say, I at least see that that they said it.
Don't keep track of how many people have me on their ignore list. Plenty of others seem more interested in doing that.
My personal belief is speed records are meaningful or meaningless, valid or invalid, based on their own merits or lack of merit. Rules are there for the sole purpose of maintaining a baseline of measurement so that one speed record can be compared against another.
