There's much better and more informed places to get info on this crash and many other non lsr items that go on here, then from someone that copies and pastes with disregard to the forum owner's wishes.
I don't find the info bad.. just easily accessible and annoyingly over abundant from one person I've never heard even fair numbers from via building, tuning or driving.
Kent, your post (imo) is by far the most disrespectful I've read on here. Your post (directly against the guidelines your friend ratcliff posted in this thread), is the one that should be in a PM or face to face to both JW and those you are refering to in your smack down attitude. If it's about me, I prefer the phone call and face to face method myself - I've heard enough behind my back on the web while a hand has later been extended to me in person... I would think most others feel the same should your words be about them. LSR is about comeraderie for many of us, as much as it is about speed at times.... whether you like it or not.
JW, it's your palyground... we'd prefer you leave it open to self moderation but when someone can't firgure out how to nicely walk around your size 13 shoe on the play gorund, sometimes you have to let them feel it and spit the sand out of their mouth on their own.
Ratcliff, Propster, etc... or whatever name you change to next to try and gain acceptance.... webspace is VERY inexpensive if not free. Spend a dollar or two and start a site, or open one of the free forums on MSN or Yahoo. You'll surely have a following of some sort (Kent appears to be at the top of the list to be one of your moderators), and at the same time you can rejoice in the fact that you will take away the pleasure some of us might find in JW banishing you to a place even farther north then he is.
I quit reading anything ratcliff had to say awhile back(and even quit coming here), but it's easy to see which posts are his by reading the first few words others have say.... shame as there's some good info there I'm sure.
I want to say that he should have his own room, thread or group of threads here as a place some of us can visit or disregard as we wish, but I don't see where that's JW's gig to make that happen either.
His posts (whether directly or indirectly and whether purposely or not) fully effect the way this forum runs and I'd rather miss info he copies and pastes (and find it myself), then have to miss hearing from those I truly hold in high regard due to their experiences and involvemnt in LSR today.
Ratcliff... tell us what you did and how you suceeded or failed and cut you knuckles open or got laughed at or lost your wife over or whatever, your second and third hand views are a dime a dozen.
IE: I'd rather hear just one time personally how Joe Blow failed going 100mph and what he did to try, then I would to hear via a link or a book scan second hand multiple times about Art Arfons going 500mph.
