It all boils down to they "Vote with their feet".
Some feet their way all the way to Australia.
The credibility is only what you make of it.
Like most sports there is a place to start and and a place to end.
Set your targets and go for it.
I like the story of the Rooster and the Buzzard.

All wrestling matches are to be done on the muddy side of the dyke right after the drivers meeting. The winner gets the 1st run and ya gotta remember pigs like mud and slop so a Harley rider will have the advantage. LOL.  BTW Jack D. is to old and he cheats as well.

ya have a stunt driver.
The stunt part is setting a record with the worst driver and not cheat.
Good drivers are too easy.  :wink:

Somebody has already taken your idea for the suit that was inspired by Liberace and the pirate.
He had it tailored in Mexico. :wink:

It don't matter, wrestling is fake just like Keith's rocks. All pretty boys in purple suits, that grunt and sweat, leap off the ropes and come from Alabama.

Hey; I have climbed Kilimanjaro and it is the highest SINGLE (semantics again) mountain on earth. (Got frostbite in Africa in the summer, explain that to your health plan) . I agree with Mr. Dahlgren that none of the playing fields are equal, nor the conditions. But the fastest is the fastest. In my little two-wheel world the 260.2 by Lee Shierts on Rich Yancy's bike at Maxton is the best. John's 259.8 mile is certainly very close, but it is slower and the record under the rules is "only" 252 something. Why does everyone always mention their exit or GPS speed? Because it is the fastest. I can't get my wife to move West. It would be great to zip over to the World Finals on years when the conditions equaled the proverbial mineshaft. Most of the fastest SCTA records are set then. So since no one can establish equal venues or conditions, I propose LARRY'S LAW. If it is a sanctioning body timed and accepted speed and it is faster than any other. YOU ARE THE MAN, THE KING OF SPEED. And so it is proclaimed by Larry

if it is a respectable sanctioning body with certified lights you should own the record and bragging rights. except if it is the ECTA
