Which  side of your mouth am I supposed to believe?

That our accomplishments  were good or hollow?

Having a bit of trouble with that one  Otto...

Hi Keith
 
That's easy, you can believe both sides of my mouth because both sides  
spoke. The accomplishments were good and hollow! I'll try to explain.  I'll type 
slowly! LOL
 
Respecting how the car performed on the salt is one thing. It went down  
track and never skipped a beat. It's stable and very fast. The drivers were  
skilled as were their mechanical abilities. I respect all of that and never  
challenged it! Are we together so far? That's the "good" side of my mouth.
 
On the other hand, I wasn't as impressed that your entire, well planned out  
and executed goal, was to break as many open or soft records as humanely  
possible. That was the original goal of the car as I recall in David's  original 
editorial in Hot Rod on the birth of the Camaro. Nothing wrong  with that. 
 
Unlike your team's goals, I'm not a cherry picker. I like a challenge.  
Always have, always will. I see no inner reward to me, the only person I have to  
impress, by setting an open or soft record. 
 
Just two schools of thought and two levels of personal integrity.
 
Otto
