... They disallowed my first 186mph chute pull run cause the chute cable missed by 1mm...
Missed what?
I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.
We have confused a metric measurement for distance with an imperial measurement for velocity. I suspect what our friend had wished to say was "
1mph", there is another possibility , the pin stayed in the loop by 1mm...... who knows either he was going to fast by 1mph or the chute didn't come out.....
what is more significant is he had an incident where the bonnet( what you guys call a hood) whipped up and took him off the track, through the new Tag Heuer timing lights......................
I have to say I really liked the Jag, clean work, simple form, neat work. It was great to finally see it on the salt, big up to Gary for his efforts and for all he does for the club.......please, please, please don't put one of those rubbish V12's in it Gary
