Wow. :-o

That "press release" was way out of line.  

I think they owe the BMW driver and crew a big fat apology and a retraction.

Anything nice I said about JJ (other than the car sounded good, which it did) I retract and apologize for.

That states the SCTA ran it, and the Team BMW record is no longer a record.  Neither of which are true, and are actually a slam of another racing team.

 :x

LSL was absolutely correct in her trashing of JJ.

As stated, I am a member for the research work I have done for many people concerning the speeds reached by members of their families in the past. I enjoy what I do and feel it is important for those wanting inform ation to get the facts, at least the ones I can, correct.

With all it's rights, priviledges, and $$'s I purchased breakfast this morning for $6.15 and a tip of $1.00...The societys part of the bill was $0.00 which they covered gracefully my part $7.15. I'm sure Freud uses his monthy payment as I do. Isn't violunteerism grand...........JD

Frued forgot our most infamous member...and so will I

JoeA - the kart did not run on hydrogen.  The "World Records" under FIA are regardless of category and class.  Just making the point that this BMW was not a vehicle for acceleration.

The fastest average speed listed for the BMW Hydrogen car was for the kilometre distance from a flying start.

I guess since SCTA is being Dicks this means My top speed just went up to the actual speed I ran.

201.59mph

Thanks SCTA!

It appears the Vanilla Gorilla doesn't know or doesn't care who was Timing him. The SCTA didn't diss him, just said it didn't have anything to do with his "production". and where did he get that number? Everyone who races with the SCTA knows the speed go to 3 places behind the decimal point, and the ECTA goes to 5. So, is his "Official" Speed 199.700? and his exit is 201.590? or am i just getting anal again?

Sounds like he's perhaps using GPS info for the 201?

We call that G-Tech Racing in drag racing: 

"Wow!  I ran a 11.95 last weekend, the first 2010 Camaro into the 11's!"

"Congrats.  Post up a timeslip."

"I did that on Farm Road 205W with my G-Tech."

 :roll:  "Anything you say, slick.  Get us a timeslip, or STFU."

I don't know which club he's in, but if he was in mine, I'd think about getting him out.
