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

[Rich Fox]

I would disagree. The BMW record is a two run over a measured mile average.
JJs run is terminal speed on his best run. That is not a honest comparison. I
don't know what the BMW had for it's fastest out the end speed. So it doesn't
seem right, to me, to say you "Brought the record back to the USA" And that is
what JJs news release says.

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...
