I don't post that often but this time I feel one is in order.
Jim,
Do a search of people before making statements about their abilities and or accomplishments before posting (Please). As far as I know Franklin is an "Internet expert". If his involvement in any vehicle has made it to Bonneville than let me know. As I see it he fits the bill of an comment I heard from an interview with one of the editors a major electronics magazine, and I paraphrase. "There are so many experts on the internet -- Some of them sit and analyze and profuse expertise on every aspect of a product, yet they have probably never touched or worked with the product ".
Now on your comment to Monty (don't know him, never met him) kind of irks me a little. I don't care if you have a problem with his posts or he has a problem with yours (It is a soap opera and I am addicted). But, I do know that his photo is in the Bonneville Anniversary program as a member of the 200MPH club. So believe a few posts by an "internet expert" or those of someone who has the hat.
