Hi Keith
 
I pulled this from the e-mail "that started it all".

I think it's great you have the HRMS dialed in to "Bracket car"  consistency 
on the elusive salt. That in itself is a tremendous  accomplishment. You did 
your aero homework and it shows. The fact that you can  seemingly put anybody 
in the seat and set a record is pretty amazing. I want  my turn on the E ticket 
ride! LOL

 
 
Somehow EVERYBODY missed that paragraph. 
 
So get it straight, I have total respect for the HRMS's accomplishments on  
the salt. But, in my opinion, the record setting spree was a hollow victory  
because they were mostly on soft or open records. Just like my 197 record at the 
 Texas mile. It means nothing to me because it was an open record. People 
have  different "values" for things, plain and simple. What's the big deal?
 
As usual when I start an LSR powder keg like this one, there are vocal  
opponents that tell everybody on the list how wrong I am. That's fine,  everybody 
get's their own opinion, except me! LOL.
 
You know how there are two sides to a coin?
 
As usual, I get more support on the subject from listers,,, off list  of 
course! Many of them are not the usual lurker but listers who flap their  jaws 
regularly on the list but unlike me, they are afraid to say it. You  may find 
this impossible to believe but there are a lot of racers who  think your record 
setting spree was a mockery to the SCTA records and an  insult to some record 
holders, just like I did.
