[Land-speed] Fwd: Jesse James "record" at El Mirage

[Keith Turk]

actually Skip... that's exactly what Jesse did... he followed the rules as 
they apply... to Hydrogen Powered Vehicles at El Mirage... oh wait... there 
are no current rules for alternate Fuel Vehicles... well then I guess he 
needed to make some eh???

Following the FIA which Louise proports is udder Horse dookey... None of us 
that race at speedweek give a tiddlers damn about the FIA... ( or El Mirage 
for that matter )...

Point being this.... Jesse James wanted to say he has the Fastest Hydorgen 
Powered Vehicle on the Planet... and because I trust Mike Cook to be 
honest... He was timed at 199.7mph ...  that was a recorded speed...hence 
it's a Record...

What is a record... let alone a world record... we've beat this to death... 
and ultimately it really comes down to deciding on your own how you define 
it...

Personally The FIA and the French can go away... F1 isn't going to be part 
of them anymore... why should  we be...

Basically the e-mail Louise wrote and reported to the world is an attempt to 
get some ink because he most likely told her to go pound sand...  If I was 
Jesse I'd sue her for Slander...
